Installing the con-rods.
All the bearings are pre lubricated with an assembly lube bfore hand .
Lately I have been using a Morey's product because it is so tacky, but any thick oil or paste designed for assembly
is fine...nulon makes some good ones, and there are some good moly based ones too.
On most threads I have been using Never-seize, but on critical fasteners, namely the rod bolts I use this ARP
product on the threads, and under the head of the bolt.
75 ft-lbs gives .006" stretch on thse fasteners with this lube.

And then finally the rod bolts are tensioned in place.
This is done through the top of the block before the lid is installed.
This just about covers all the assembly process, from when I first got my camera last year.
If I have left anything out or if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Damn thats an amazing looking bit of kit Dave..... It just looks so tough.... You can see why its the serious racers choice..... What Rod bolts are
you using? The 8740's or the 2000's?..... The reason I am asking is because Im looking at the bolts on my H Beams and thinking for my app I might
upgrade.... Its gonna be a boosted 2276 (250-300hp est, min street use, mostly weekend rocket), but Im not sure if the extra expense is warranted....
Its prolly good security, but I'd like to hear what you think.....

Hi Simon,
depends on the bolt diameter. If they are 3/8" diameter thread, the 8740's will be fine. For the 5/16" size I would use ARP 2000 or
better.
Mine are a different brand that comes with the Pauter rods, but based on the tension required to achieve .006" stretch the are similar to
the 2000 material.
These bolts are also a larger diameter again at 7/16".
In my Mule engine I have chosen the L-19 material for one step better than 2000.
Carrilo rods come with an SPS brand fastener known as CARR that is a little better again than the L-19...very nice, but 600 dollars for a
set!

New 180mm three-puc clutch disc.
While the engine is out, I ordered a new clutch disc.
This one has thicker pads on the FW side to clear the rivets in relation to the FW bolts.
The old disc had done 24 passes plus 10 dyno runs and some time with its little mate
in a two disc deal that was behind my supercharged engine.
I am expecting some extra torque with this engine so I thought it would be better being fresh.
The diafragm has 2700lbs clamp.

I like the colour, does painting it red make you go faster?
But seriously, that is really cool.
does the twin plate setup take up a lot of room?

Yes red has always been fast!
The dual disc set-up was a real tight squeeze in the bellhousing.
In the end I had a floater that was about 6mm thick and pucks on the discs
that were only just above the rivets from new.
Also had to spotface the bolt seats down to clear in the bellhousing and near
the clutch fork.

Well, last Sunday I got it all bolted in and wired up.
As per last time, I couldn't for the life of me, get the damn thing to idle.
All the accessories of the fuel system were the same, except for a cautious
richening of the mixtures, and my spare electronic WBX dizzy.
If I wasn't such a poindexter I would have used a bit of logic and just
swapped the dizzy to the one I had been using.
But instead, I stressed and tinkered, trying to theorize on some obscure tuning
requirement that all this new found power was demanding. (Yeah, right!?)
So after finally getting home from work before dark, I bunged in my usual dizzy, and, WALLA!!
All sweet!
So what was the problem?
The engine wanted more advance at idle speed.
The dizzy that was causing all the trouble was not faulty, only the advance curve
was far to slow to suit, and if the revs dropped down so would the ignition advance.
To achieve a total timing of 28 degrees, the stock curve had late timing at idle (ATDC).
And I guess that these big cams, and methanol fuel need all the help they can get.
So the propper curve has 20 degrees at 2000 and is all in by 3000.
Just out of interest, that good dizzy is a stock early WBX dizzy, with the vacuum locked and removed, and only one advance spring.
While I am sure that there are much better systems out there, that might unleash more power, this thing was trouble free, and fired my supercharged
engine's 42psi boost, and 10:1 comp no worries.
This is nothing scientific, just what performs best with this combo.(talking about the advance curve in the N/A combo)

Looks great Dave....lucky you have it bolted in otherwise it may have got mixed up with my bits when I come to pick them up.
When are you going to run it? i'll come out for a look and bring my trusty vid.
Love the timing pointer...if you ever need to run a chute, nice HD attachment point.....:P

I heard the Honda was not able to back up the record in "All Motor",
so the record is still mine until the Jamboree up here in September.

Can't run a tube chassis in All Motor, unless it is a Honda.
Don't worry, I've got him covered though.

Hi john,
no spares that I can part with.
The 6mm spacing is the same as a type 4 engine, but with a type 1, bolt pitch circle.
Pauter stocks the gears for these and type 4s, and are a phone call away.
