^^^^^ DING DING DING

happy belated birthday!

easy way or hard way? the easy way takes a lot more work? easy wasy remove front fenders radiator pull the balancer pull the timing chain cover rotate until timing marks on cam and crank line up ( o and ^) remove dizzy and oil pump then put dizzy back in with rotor at 7 oclock line up oil pump slot to dizzy arm gently push oil pump back in (a second hand helps alot to keep dizzy in right spot) be patient if oil pump wont slip in pull and readjust until it slips right in with a slight twist of pump body not pushing the dizzy out. once the proper alignment of oil pump to dizzy bolt pump in place as well as dizzy. reinstall timing cover balancer should be right at tdc install radiator go through the static timing as mentioned several times in the forum. hard way pull the plug above cylinder 6 place a 7 inch piece or coat hanger in hole and rotate motor until it comes all the way up and barley goes down go backwards just a hair so it is back up to highest point, pull spark plug one and check to see if both valves are closed if not repeat turning motor till that rod comes back up then barley goes down a hair back the crank up and check the valves at spark plug one for complete valve closer, the pointer on timing chain cover should be right on tdc of pully/balancer note the location of rotor it should be 7 oclock if not pull dizzy and oil pump repeat install as mentioned above ( dizzy at 7 oclock gently insert oil pump with slot lined to dizzy) this is the hard way due to the amount of guessing involved. do static timing procedure. this will get close but not as dialed in as the "easy way"

go with what color makes you happy, I may be the only person that appreciates orange. I got so tired of seeing red black etc

sorry to hear, get well soon

make sure you ground the radiator real good or you might run into galvanic corrosion issues.

it is a long process....

do you recall the part#s for Len Dawson?

So I have searched and can't find what I need, is there a resource that can show what a head came off of based on the casting number?

The crank is scored but doesn't look rainbowed the rod is slightly cooked at the cap checked cylinder 5 and it looked ok but Isuspect with all that metal there is some unseen damage

did you have to relieve the rod journals to get the crank in? what block did you put the 265 crank in?

update no good news spun the bearing on 6
