Re: HG's Dream Car Build - Shelby Cobra Kit
Anyway, good progress was made. The cams are installed, hopefully the correct cams are in the correct location! The new timing chains are installed and everything lined up as it should have. Oil pan and timing chain cover installed, which is where there's a minor potential issue. Some of the bolts have an extra stud on the head for clamping other things onto, like the wire harness, etc. The manual didn't identify which 3 positions were supposed to be that style. It did for the oil pan bolts, but not this. I found one for sure from a pic I took before tear down but I didn't have good pics showing the others. I should be able to swap a couple bolts if needed later without issue.
The great news is no leftover parts and no missing parts! For never having any experience with this engine family I call that a huge success.
