Doggiedoc’s Roush Resurrection

[doggiedoc]

Do these have the updated baffles?

Well, I don’t know. How do I tell?

 

[Boostr1]

Take a pic, I can tell. They are bigger than the previous ones.

 

[doggiedoc]

Is this the view you mean?

 

[Boostr1]

Yeah, looks like you have newer ones. I have the older ones where the baffles werent stopping any oil from passing thru my pcv and filling up my catch can immediately when I was under boost. I fixed it with replacing the pcv with an 2.3 SVO pcv valve and it stopped that issue. So you should be good. I might just go with the upgrade kit myself.

 

[doggiedoc]

Good to know.

Still amazing to me how massive the OHC heads are. Cool project!

 

[doggiedoc]

Meant to post this up before now - new gaskets came in finally. I called Darton and they confirmed this was the right gasket for their MID wet sleeves. They collaborated with Cometic with the design so that should do the trick!

Cleaned up the block and piston tops today.






Then pre-assembled the heads and installed the cams.






Then torqued down the heads.

Looking good. Keep up the progress.

Decided to pull the heads back off to install new head studs. I was planning to reuse the previous studs but had some marring on some of the upper threads and started to worry the clamping force might be compromised. Since I already head a new set a ARP head studs it was just a little extra work.

If you take a small ballbearing, drop into the stud hole, it will prevent the studs from bottoming out and causing them to be off angle slightly. Making heads easier to remove and install without much hassle......just saying.

 

[doggiedoc]

Good tip. I’ll remember that for the next one!

 

[96blak54]

Feels alot less work when we wear the flipflops!

 

[doggiedoc]

New adjustable cam gears.



Prepping to clean out stud hole threads - taped up to keep shavings out!



The other side, before taping.



Didn’t want to go through reinstalling the headers - just left them on while prepping for the new studs.

Ready to chase the threads.




New Cometic gaskets with a good coat of copper gasket spray for added piece of mind.



New McLeod dual disk clutch: rated for 1000hp!

hey didn't you buy the GT followers? Just remembering after seeing those Jesels. if you think about selling those gt followers let me know. i'll be needing lash adjusters and followers for my killer worked over pi heads.

 

[doggiedoc]

I did. They've been soaking in Royal Purple 5w20 since I got them. Let me think about it, I probably should sell them. I'll let you know.

 

[joe65]

you got that motor back in that Roush yet??

 

[doggiedoc]

Not yet, I’d like to work on it today but it’s cold and miserable and raining outside. Oddly enough, I stalled out working on it because it was too hot and miserable out and I was tired of sweat dripping on everything.

 

[doggiedoc]

you got that motor back in that Roush yet??

Almost there....

 

[joe65]

Hey sitting next to it is closer! Lol. Good to see you back at it!
