it could still have a crack in the block though, are there any parts that are ususally over looked??

 

Yup, but you should do at least a little looking on your own first. SBCs are the most common engine on earth, buy a book.


Lets make this a fun thread!!! Kinda like the word game threads, everyone name one part per post.:haha: I'll start:

Heads, bare castings...

 

cam, and crank needing to be micrometer (spelled wrong) Pistons and rings, freeze plugs. you tell us what your know you need we will add in on the list. How much of an overhaul are you doing

 

rods, gaskets

 

Bearings

 

One at a time!!! I could lsit most of em, but what fun would that be?? lol

Itll be fun when all the obvious ones are taken and the tiny parts....

Gonna need some Valves....

 

pvc valve

 

1. heads...bare castings
2. rods
3. gaskets
4. bearings
5. valves
6. pvc valve
7. oil pump

 

oil pump drvie, distributor, harmanic balancer

 

i plan on doing a complete build up with just a rotating assembly so i need all the little things let me know if i am missing anything: Bare block, main caps, main cap bolts, main bearings, crank, rods, rod bearings, rod bolts, pisitions, wrist pins, c-clips or sirclips, rings, cam bearings, cam, timing set with gasket, lifters, push rods, oil pan, oil pan bolts, oil pump, oil pick up tube if not included, fuel pump(is a gasket needed?), fuel pump bolts, fuel pump shaft, oil pump, oil plugs, timing cover, timing cover bolts, heads, head bolts, valve springs, retainers, valves, rockers, freez pulgs, harmonic balancer and bolt, water pump, water pump bolts (gasket needed?) intake manifold, intake bolts, distributer, carb, carb studs, valve covers, valve cover bolts, breather (can i use this instead of a PCV?), thermostat, stat housing (gasket?) thats all i can think of for now thanks eirk

yes the fuelpump has a gasket. im not shure what a fuelpump shaft is...they work off of the cam, via a little arm. yes waterpump DEFINATLY needs a gasket. yes you need a thermostat gasket. you need a oilpump shaft if it's driven by the distributor.. maybe more

I belive the word you are looking for is micropolished? micrometer is a precise measuring tool.
