Hello ! I wanted to post an update on some progress.
I have assembled a little more of the front of my engine.
This is a hybrid build, with my original Euro S heads and camshafts and a newer 5.0L block
Here are some pictures of the old parts I replaced.
Check out the wear / abuse on the drivers side cam spacer...
I had to order a special tool from Scheissco to install the spacers. It was on backorder, and finally arrived.
Here are a few pictures of the assembly to this point. Everything except the cam gear bolts are torqued and triple-checked at this point. I used the WURTH HHS adhesive lubricant to assemble everything. All parts, seals, bolts went in new.
Also, one last question. This is the first 928 engine I have assembled. The block, heads, and cam towers were assembled by the machine shop. Please note the arrows in the next picture, showing the positions of the cam gear marks, and the crankshaft woodruff key. I did not notice the relative positions of these marks until I had the cam gears on today. Do the positions at this point, prior to timing belt installation represent any sort of problem? I just imagined needing to turn the cams or crank relative to each other to set the timing, and running into some sort of problem.
I posted this up on RL 928 as well. There are a lot of great 928 guys still over there that I wish would come over here.
Thanks
Dan
