Thanks!

Does anybody know what the specs are for these bolts on their aluminum heads?

I bought one, though i have not rebuilt a transmission with it yet, i know it will be a great resource when i do. The pictures and descriptions are excellent.

Was there a break in procedure on the assembly line when these things were built?

I know they did not have a gasket from the factory. But, The gaskets i have are way too big in the port area. There would only be a tiny area of gasket between the flange and the head surface. These came with the complete kit i bought from 440 source. What are you guys using for gaskets?

Thanks!

Thread sealant? Or no?

It is the cam that 440 source recommended for my situation. Can always change it later. Thanks!

I have the card in my shop, i will be going there this morning. Bee1971- how did you like it? Sorry for the confusion, it's been a couple decades since i last built an engine that wasn't a two stroke.

I think it was this one

I have to double check my numbers, might have fat fingered it.

Thanks, i kind of fugured as much. Happy Thanksgiving!

I am assembling my 505 for for fun street driving, so not likely to exceed 5500 -6000 rpm. Cam is a comp (I know) with .525 lift 285/287 duration hydraulic flat tappet. I will be running HP manifolds and stealth heads. The cam is supposed to be installed at a 106 degree centerline. It is coming...

Thanks for the answers . It's been 20 years since i have assembled a car engine. I've been concentrating on 2 stroke snowmobile engines. They have a lot fewer parts to keep track of.

I am putting my 505 together and did not unpackage the bearing myself. The machine shop gave them to me in the factory package. The project has sat a couple of years and been moved around in my shop. I am unsure if the shells got mixed up or not. Should i be concerned?

Where do i buy one?

My dad purchased his first RT new in 67. It was an automatic car. His came without snorkels . He has pictures from back then. From what we have seen, and heard it seems to be random (maybe a supplier issue early on?) It would be cool to find out the actual reason .

Thanks for the quick reply!

My machine shop prepped the block for my 440/505. I oiled the bearings and cam then slid the shaft into the bearings. It went in fairly well. I am curious about how tight it should be. With the cam gear installed it rotates fairly easily but does not "freewheel" . Is that acceptable? Thanks in...
