Re: L29 454 Build for '63 K15 with NV4500
I guess its time for a little update. My laptop screen went out a while back so Ive been doing everything on my phone until I could get enough money to fix the LT. Good news is that I guess I got the extended warranty which covered the repair. Wish I remembered that a month ago.
I think that I left off at being about to order the cam. Well it came but it was a couple of weeks before I could start jobbing on the build due to work and side jobs. Ill get some pics here on the progress.
Gave the block and crank their first bath then got to the assembly. I think I lost some pics of the lower end going together but thats pretty boring anyway. Once I got the measurements for ring gap, crank thrust and rod side play figured out, it went together pretty fast.
I have never degreed a cam since I had didn't have the set up to do it. The instructions that came with my cam said that "it must be degreed in". So I used the money that I thought was needed to fix the laptop and got a Comp degree kit and a Cloyes HexAjust single roller timing chain. It took a little while to figure out the numbers on the cam card but in the end, all if the cam timing events and lift numbers were right on the money!
