So then.....Not an Eagle mis label...seems like more like a machine shop that sent your crank home with a stock rebuild dude, and put his stock junker in your build instread?

Ya for the most part. Both were new eagle cranks but in comparison ya the other guys was just a cast crank. Was definitely a screw up on the part of my machine shop. Eagle was very accommodating and honestly was gonna do whatever it took to make me whole but first wanted to see if there was a mixup. Machine shop also made things right. Drove almost an hour to my house and dropped off my crank.

Everything looks good.

Ok, my next thought is did they balance it correctly with your other parts

Yes. He spun it up to confirm for me but with my bob weight the the other crank would not be able to be balanced at that weight. Eagle spun the one I sent them and told me there’s no way. That’s what made them think it was switched.

Progress was made.

Made a degree wheel. Since I really won’t need this often. Printer and a bucket lid lol. I was also able to enter all the events and they get printed right on.

You made that?

Most guys just make the clothes hanger pointer...If you can do that, What else can you do with a printer, I mean that seems like a big assed piece of paper?

 

[Mustang5L5]

Lol. I made the same one.

See above. Ya that’s the website. You just print as “poster” and tape it together. It’s nice that you can punch in your cam data and it’s printed right on the wheel.

 

[KZGUNS]

Cam degreed out fine. Torqued the retainer plate and timing set. Installed head studs.
these blocks use 1/2” studs and are actually ford FE arp studs. All holes are blind so no water jackets in any of the head stud holes.

 

[KZGUNS]

Can you guess what I’m doing?

ya I’m not happy with the water pump pulley so I’ll make my own.

 

[a91what]

Gonna put a lip on it?

 

[KZGUNS]

Gonna put a lip on it?

Yes. It was just too close to the crank and I could tell the belt contacted itself at times. So the new one will be small enough to get the belt on and off and have a lip to keep it guided properly.

While you have it off you should take another piece of aluminum plate and remake the adapter between the blower and the intake. Just somthing to take the sharp turn off.

Not sure I’ll get into that but you never know.
