'72 Chevy C10 - Melling 10295 Install & SacCityCorvette Install Tool - Day 23

okay I'm back I took the family on a vacation and took a little time off from working everything so I'm back in the shop this morning and I'm just gonna keep plugging away and getting this thing is simple first up this morning is I need to get behind here and take this gear off here real quick and the timing gear and torque down the cam keeper plate back there and clear those bolt heads they just look terrible the motor you know just had a lot of staining in it from the oil from any models I'm gonna clean those up everything torque down get this torque down and get the oil pump on I have a mailing 10 295 so it's the high pressure pump would install that so I'm gonna do that here today and start putting all these parts on here and not only sparks are gonna go on today but it's got this part all these parts here alternator water pump just anything and everything that I need knock sensors so that's kind of the plan for today I went ahead and mocked up my adapter plates here with the energy suspension mounts I am sticking with the stock engine stands the one bolt engine stands these energy suspensions have a integral hook in it so if if things go south it'll least the motor won't try to climb out of the truck so I thought about switching over to the clamshell type but I just honestly I don't wanna spend any more money on these would work just fine the energy suspension mounts the same price for the clamshell versus these one bolt truck style so stick with those but that's where I'm gonna go this morning kind of get going and start to put this thing together so we get it assembled and start put in the truck so that's it right now okay now I'm going to install this Melling oil pump this is the 10 to 95 the high-pressure I've seen both ways the instructions well there aren't actually no instruction with this but I've seen guys just slam them on here rotate the engine a couple times torquing it down I've also seen them Shemin it so I figured it only takes a couple minutes to shim it here so I'm going go ahead and try to shim it according to melons instructions now these instructions did not come with it I actually ended up finding a YouTube video here but it's pretty simple so the way it works is you just you set your pump housing on here and you run your bolts in finger-tight and I put a little bit of blue loctite on these two I don't know I just kind of old have a stout heart I Loctite everything just just because this is just the medium strength so it's not real strong I'm not strong let's get the bolts from backing out but it's not like the red I've used red in the past the high strength that you're supposed to use heat on to get out but I've never actually had to use he did they just come out so but anyway you just finger tight these in here and the way that I saw just pump still yeah okay now that we've got the the pump housing on I've got to go ahead and put the inner rotor on now I've located this up with some deputy 40 it needs a little bit lubrication when you put it on there just so it slides on a little smoother so that's it like they're in the way they count out the milling that is they want two to three thousands shims and three places on here so I'm what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna slide in a shim here here big one over here it'll try to anyone if I get that three thousand in there here she goes alright so now that does is that centers that inner rotor on the crank okay now that the inner rotors on I've got three thousand Shem in three places here to Center that that wrote around there so what I'm gonna do now is I've lubricated the outer rotor and I'm gonna go ahead and put it on as well and this is kind of tricky okay you actually got it first try there okay now that I've got the outer rotor in here I'm gonna run some shims at three places on the outside of the outer rotor and the pump housing now these are twenty five thousands here so they're I should fit in there real nice and what this does is it centers the pump housing their centers the rotor outside rotor within the pump housing this last one here she's pretty pretty good so that's it it is now centered on there so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna torque these down and put the cover back on the funny thing is when you set this up the way that milling wants you to and you pull the cover off it voids the warranty so I don't I don't know kind of silly aftermarket parts I guess and that's the way aftermarket parts go so I'm gonna go ahead and run these down torque these down I think they torque to see the manual calls them out as a teen foot-pounds so I'm gonna go ahead and torque these down eighteen and I think these are like something ridiculously small like 80 to 100 inch pounds so these are very very there's not a whole lot of torque that's why you use the Loctite on those so I'm gonna put some Loctite on actually I got locked out on these I'm gonna talk them down put the cover on and we can continue on alright the oil pump is on I got everything torqued down everything looks good eighteen foot pounds in a hundred inch pounds so we're good to go there I decided to go ahead and flip the motor over and install the pan get everything closed up down here so I got the baffle out this path will actually I cleaned it up it was completely rusted the guy I bought it from left this pan sitting outside and this thing covered in rust so they were not came down it came out so I just soaked it in wd-40 actually for about a couple weeks and then hit with scotch brite and it is that as good as new it's got a little bit here and there but good to go the pan is I think you said in earlier video it's a Hummer pan it came with the motor when I bought it from a guy I think Jim and Holly sell this as their hot rod pan but so that's what's going on so I went ahead and put the baffle that came with it cuz it's a little bit different obviously it has a different pickup and shorter pickup I went and put a ring on it I bought the truck Oh ring on the gimbal because I actually never looked at it it turns out this is a truck style pickup tube here where it has this recess with the o-ring sits it's not straight all the way right here like a like a car is so the truck oh ring is the correct one so I measured it out everything specs out with the Melling documentation so I am going to go ahead and get everything buttoned up down here get the pickup in and get all the nuts on and get the pan on I'm not gonna install it for good but I'm gonna install it so that I could put the front and rear covers on because right now actually that one's sitting way proud I just thought it'd be easier to get all this on before I have to try snake in and try to get the pickup tube on without or with the front cover on so anyway I'll stop rambling now I'm gonna set up here and kind of get this all installed alright I got this thing flipped over and got everything ready to go I actually ended up putting a little bit of petroleum jelly on the o-ring here because I just always done that with earrings I don't know if it's kind of a carryover from you know working on stuff as a kid automotive and machining otherwise but I always put petroleum jelly just regular old vastly and I just keep a little jar out in the garage just for stuff like this so but anyway I'm gonna go ahead and install this here sure be seated set it down I'm gonna put these tin nuts on here and torque them down there's also one bolt here that I actually need to go and look at the manual and see the torque spec is on that I'll put that in there I'll put these tin I know these two in torque down to like a hundred and six foot pen 106 inch pounds so I will get those nuts on there here real quick and we're going to torque down now one thing to note is these nuts if you buy these nuts or buy the buy the kit which I'm assuming GM sells us I'm not sure but the nuts that hold the windage tray down there actually I figured they call these things this one they kind of squash them down a little bit so they kind of they have a bit of a they're kind of like a an aisle off except there's no nylon it's just a it's a press so you can only screw on so far and then they get I use a wrench to rinse them all the way down so I'll go ahead and put these on here real quick and then we can set the paint on here and flip this old boy back over and put some put the covers on well this the front cover that is a back cover hotel back there but okay I went back and actually read the manual here just to check on the torque specs just want to make sure so this one's a 106 foot-pounds these are all 106 foot pound or inch pounds sorry 106 inch pounds and a hundred six inch pounds this one and this one that the stands that hold the pickup tube itself are actually eighteen foot pounds so they're a little bit higher oddly I don't know you know that's what they they call for so I'm gonna do this one and this one is 18 the rest of them is 106 as well as this one I put a little thread lock on this here that feeds into the pub just as some insurance so that we do somehow work our way back out we don't shell the motor out this may be a bad day for everybody so try to set that one there this here is a you know I guess centered as best as you can and then run down and the most you guys know this but your torque wrench on your clicker style torque which all the way back to zero every time and you're not using it just save the spring inside so all right now this one is actually blocked by the pickup tube itself now as an engineer this drives me nuts because there are you know I know you got to fit down inside of the pan itself but you know make this bin so that this will fit so you can get a wrench on there this is just this is dumb I designed things all day long that need to be serviced to him you know the first thing I think about is who's got to work on this in the field this is just gonna piss guys off so I'll grab a wrench real quick I wrapped in your engine we'll get that tightened down okay so that's buttons add up so next up let's put the pain Alma actually just install it temporarily so I've got to actually loosen up this rear cover here it is it's too tight drop it down a little bit because it is a little too proud up here okay kind of clean this pan out so yeah I'm just gonna sit it on here just bolt it on here temporarily so I know why they did that that to that that pickup line like that cuz you got to get the sump here and you're gonna turn the corner but designing cars design everything else to fit that just be something simple I don't know I know maybe I'll just your own pain complaining today but anyway I'm gonna go ahead and put this pan on just kind of loosely for now and I get the motor flipped over and start putting these covers on alright so I get the motor flip back over ended up taking the pan back off because I got to thinking I might do this a little bit differently that pan has a gasket pan gasket already riveted on it I don't want to cut the rivets just to do this so I pulled the pan off and what I'm gonna do is I'm use a straight edge across the bottom here to line these up and you know I kind of once we get this going up you can kind of see what what I'm doing here so I got this little tool here it's called the alignment tool it's actually from sex city Corvettes calm pretty tricky little tool this guy was showing up in my Facebook and Instagram feeds for four months it's like they knew I was working on this truck yeah I guess sniff it and pictures up and they can target me but anyway I went ahead and ordered them pretty inexpensive I think actually I think Holly makes them now but I like to support the little guy that seems like a nice small business so I went in and ordered it and this thing is actually pretty sweet here how it works this works so I've got the cover here with the gasket and don't forget your gasket I got locked tight on the on the bolts just because old habits die hard so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna get this on here real quick just gonna sit on here get it all lined in here these things started anyway down a little bit okay so this thing is actually pretty cool so what I did it like put you know some petroleum jelly on there just like always on all the a room fittings so you just kind of put it in here over the cranks now I'm kinda just rotate it and you'll feel it kind of seat and what it does is it holds that cover exactly where it needs to go so it will still turn the cover that is a little bit you know I don't you can see that but they don't still turn so what I need to do is I need to take a straight edge and make sure that the bottom of the front cover is flush with the bottom of the the old pan rail I guess you'd call it here so I'm gonna go ahead and tie these down just a little bit further and then I'm going to get the straightedge out here okay so we still got our movement here so what I need to do here is I got a straightedge be an engineer got my my my scale here a cheated scale so what I'm gonna do here is set this thing along the bottom edge of the rail here make sure we're touching which it is right there anything about three hands here I'm gonna go ahead and hit one of these here real quick down just a little bit quit moving I can check this side over here and make sure that we're flat over here and we're flat it's gonna be over here double check over here yep first try does that happen never so I'll go ahead and run this one down a little bit fortunately I want to torque them down anything like that but sit make sure this still spins freely it does pull it out put it back in sits in there nice and tight so that's the way you use these alignment tools for the front recovers honestly you know a lot of guys they'll put the seal in there heat the crank pulley up and jam it on there and that's how they Center it but the problem is that that seal on the crank snout or the seal on the crank pulley has some flex in it so you can get that thing kind of off you know it's more of a high-mileage thing I get where they do it I've never actually used in my years of building builders I've never actually used a centering tool on a cover like this I've built a lot of imports over the years and never had any problems with it but I figured what the heck they've got the tool it sets everything nice and flush here and there and the nice thing is when you're done you flip it over and you can use it as a press to press that new seal in there so both front and rear so that's you know it's kind of a multi-purpose tool you know you use it once in you know never but unless you're building motors on a daily but you know I what the heck I'll buy try it out and it works pretty good so I'd have to say that I'm a believer I'd buy them so I highly recommend him I'll go ahead and throw a link to him down in the description below just so everybody kind of take a look they sell this the kit that I bought is the front and rear cover but they also sell I forget what he calls it like a dummy something another but it what it does is it basically it will align the cover it kind of mimics the crank pulley being on here so it will align the cover with a gasket in it Center it up I don't know why you'd want that I mean I guess if you already had a gasket you don't take out use that but these gaskets are so cheap you might as well change it out the seal here anyway so but yeah throw a link in description and y'all can check it out too okay so I am actually gonna call it a day today I got a run home and four day lights out and girl some dinner so I didn't get near as far as I wanted to get today I'm actually coming off being sick last week to boot so I'm running a little slow so everything's good to go I'll get the pan back on I'm starting to work on getting the water pump on and then I realized the guy who built the motor put an ungodly amount of paint on the surface there where they yeah and you can feel the inconsistencies in it so I'm trying to scrape it off here so I can get the gasket to seal properly for the water pump I went ahead and put the alternator bracket on just to see if it bolt in since we decked the heads it's a little wonky the bolt down here is a little wonky but it actually does go on it's just it's just tight up against the holes top and bottom so but everything is good to go like I say just didn't get as far as I wanted to today so I am going to come up this week and get all the rest of paint off of both sides get that water pump on there I start slapping accessories on get the intake manifold on get all the Rucker's are the the rocker the valve covers bolted down I got new gaskets for them I do need to order new gaskets here these are all I get mismatched I got one side it's gray ones black so I'm gonna get some new ones that I know are good because I don't know what the condition that these are so huh that's it just kind of rambling so once they get everything kind of assembled I actually might leave the I'm just thinking out loud here might leave the intake manifold off and get the transmission voltage to it so get it off a stand get the rear cover on get the flex plate on change out that barbell get all the sensors get everything attached put the transmission on it and then put it in here so like I say I'm gonna take the grille out of the truck take the course afford out of the truck so I can slide the motor in like this just be done with it so I'm ready everything's here I just got a mountain of Parts I need to put on it I got all these parts over here I got a wall Crump there the bed of the truck fell apart so I'm gonna put them all on and get it going so again I apologize for going a little slow today I did not get as much done as I wanted to but I'm terrible about overestimating what I can do even when I feel sick so anyway I do appreciate everybody watching
