Sunday, i will pull the other engine out of the bay.
 

[Doctoraudio]

Just want to thank many of you for helping me get this far!

[Doctoraudio]

Still painting engine parts and letting then cure!
I start unhooking the L18 screamer engine!
Going to tear it apart after I get the other one. 
Head gasket is leaking.
No water or oil mixture!
It only comes between the head and block.

I drilled the pilot hole for the dip stick on right side of engine.
I started with a 2mm drill bit.

 

[Doctoraudio]

Engine and tranny is out.
And I spilled gear-oil all over the ground.
It's not the first time.
I will be using the cat little I always buy.
I am going to order new switches, for the trans.
I broke the wires on the reverse light switch!

[Doctoraudio]

The engine is out! and on the hoist.
The L18 screamer is ugly!
The paint, I used is coming off of everything!
I didn't use the same paint this time.
This time I cleaned the engine better.
And using a better primer!
 

[Doctoraudio]

new hole is the second picture.
Anyone know what size The hole should be!
Looks like 3/8 inch or 9.5mm
Not sure but I have time!
I took the oil pan off. Then drilled it from the top and bottom.

Easiest way to tell is to see what drill size fits in the old hole. I think it is 3/8", but it's been a while since I've drilled that hole.

[Doctoraudio]

Thank you.

I bought two new drills yesterday.
One was a 5/16 and 3/8 size.
 

[Doctoraudio]

Dipstick hole is drilled out.
I can put the dip stick in!
It is a little loose!
Easy fix!


I have a question about the timing chain sprocket.
When I line the marks on the timing chain with a position on the sprocket!

Which mark do I use?

#1,  #2 or #3?
Rite now it is lined up with #2.

 

[banzai510(hainz)]

L20s come stock on 2

the others are on 1 but really you can put it where you want.

What I do is do a basic set up and see where the mark is at exact TDC  on crank then ck the marks on the sprocket.

 

move the number up moves the power band up sooner.  or its for chain wear if the spocket is retarded at Crank Zero.

 

I put the front cover on loose to get the timing mark then see if ok . when you think you got it then remove it and do the front cover gaskets correct ect...

 

[Doctoraudio]

Awesome.
It's like you showed in the video. (@3:20)
It's Timed on 2.

Question:
Does the timing tensioner get a gasket?
 

[banzai510(hainz)]

some have them some dont

[datzenmike]

Should be on #1 so set precisely to TDC and look through the top hole on the cam sprocket. There is a V notch on the back and just above it a horizontal etched mark on the cam thrust plate. The V notch should be below and just slightly to the right of the line above it.

 

 

#2 is for L20B engines and the V notch will be positioned even more to the right of the line and this will favor idle and low speed but lack power in the mid range and higher speeds. 

 

If all apart this will be hard to do so assemble and check when all together. The tensioner will need to be blocked from falling out before the cam sprocket can be removed to set on the #1 hole.... or do it now and check to confirm later.

[Doctoraudio]

I went and moved it to number 1!

 

[Doctoraudio]

How do I tell which if one is better than the others?
I brightest one is the one I am planning on using.
It has H20 on the side, like the one on the right in the second picture!

[Crashtd420]

Oil pump right.....

Have a look inside.... 

Does one have a taller rotor?

[Doctoraudio]

Is it safe to take a part?
Nothing going to fly away?

No need just have a look from the top..... 

[Crashtd420]

If you look down inside you'll either see a short rotor inside or one that almost reaches the opening...

The taller would be a high volume pump....
