Members RJLamie Posted January 25, 2019 Members Report Posted January 25, 2019 I really love your project. I am a little jealous. I would love to find a machine in the right condition to do a complete rebuild. good luck! Quote
Members chrisash Posted January 25, 2019 Members Report Posted January 25, 2019 Maybe a very thin layer of vaseline around the plug edge to stop the paint sticking to it, so when you remove the plug it does not pull away a small part of the new ;paint around the hole edge Quote Mi omputer is ot ood at speeling , it's not me

This spray paint dries pretty fast, like 30 minutes to touch, stops flowing in couple minutes (becomes tacky). Need to organize and move quickly. Quote
Members katit Posted January 29, 2019 Author Members Report Posted January 29, 2019 Hmm. Received timing belt but not sure if it’s correct? Matched by PN. All sizes match except for width. Is that correct? New one is not as wide Quote
Members katit Posted January 29, 2019 Author Members Report Posted January 29, 2019 Silicone plugs worked as a charm!! I waited about 30 minutes for paint to be dry to touch and pulled them with sharp pick. This is what I have now. Can start assembly and tinkering tomorrow! You see on a picture pulled plugs Quote

Members katit Posted January 29, 2019 Author Members Report Posted January 29, 2019 Need to mark oil ports. Nail polish is what you guys use? Anybody knows about timing belt? Is it OK to use narrow one? I would imagine it should work just as good, but looking for info from people who dealt with it before Quote
Members shoepatcher Posted January 30, 2019 Members Report Posted January 30, 2019 No. Find a Testor's paint stick. Looks like a magic marker but it is paint. Used them for years in red to mark oil holes! glenn Quote
Members katit Posted January 30, 2019 Author Members Report Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Progress here, I thought I will get it ready for timing but NO. This belt is not right need help here.. it’s correct pn but it’s loose and narrow Edited January 30, 2019 by katit Quote
