I am installing a new cork gasket in the rear block. After installing seems that the crank will not go all the way down.Am I missing something here? I am thinking I need to bolt the cap down and tighten.

Thank ya"ll for your input. On the repair any thoughts? Maybe reattached the piece that came out or???

Here are the pics [/ATTACH]

Here are some more pictures of my rear main. It appears to be that way both sides. A repair? Can that be repaired ? And yes I 0.0015 clearance.

Been having a lot of oil coming out the clutch housing bottom. Checked the tube not clogged. Also clearance was 15.This is the second time trying to fix this problem. Removed the motor out this time. I did find this piece that was loose. lt looks like a piece that was added. With this loose...

Great Thanks The Dutch Man knows.. Perfectly Clear now!! :)

How much movement should a valve have in a valve guide? It appears that there is some gap causing the valve to rock back and forth. So how would you tell if it is time to change? it is very little but there is movement. I have had a lot of blow by. Thinking of up grading to later valves and adj...

You mentioned that the cam tunnel rear gasket could have been compromised. If that gasket was compromised could that leak down in the bell housing and coming out the hole with the carter key or pin?

I took off the valve cover and checked lash and it could use a wee bit of adjustment but nothing alarming. I did take the compression ring off and measured it and .024 i don't have any larger gauge to see what the gap is. Also the oil ring does not expand as much as the top two is that normal...

I pulled the piston and the ring was intact. The next thing I rotated the valve assembly and it appeared to be working properly.Next I am going to pull the valve cover and inspect the valves. When the compression check was done it sounded like a rushing of air. Could possibly be a bent valve...

The rings on the #2 cylinder there were no cracked or broke rings. Tested 0 compression shot of oil and got 60lbs.

This all started with the rear Main leaking bad. I started with dropping pan and checking rear main tube for blockage. Checked clearance it was .0015 on the rear main. Put it all back together and still oil slick. Then I took a compression check 1-3-4 all 120lbs I did install a 6.1 high...

First I dropped the pan to check rear main for blockage in the tube going out the slinger. I did recently add a High compression Head 6.5. I did a compression check all cylinders 1,4,3 120lbs number 2 no compression squirt some oil in and up to 60lbs. The rear main cap on the bottom has a grove...

Replacing Pan gasket . Ordered it from a supplier and it came with everything needed to do the job. One thing the rail cork gasket had no holes. Is this normal? Well low and behold there were some holes .. You could not see them until marking out to punch holes. Like some have said here there...
