@BoxWrench thanks for the quick reply! yea thats what i thought. where can i get one of these tools? i know how to use the remover, ive seen one before and have used one for crankshaft bushings (the kind that has the metal ring and the rubber seal part in the middle) on a motorcycle engine but it was much smaller. i dont need to see someone do it, putting the engine together is easy. its just little thinks like this and freeze plugs i have trouble with.
thanks!
Do u need any special tools for this application
@dnl5649 yes, you need a ‘camshaft bearing installation/removal’ tool.
The removal and installation process is covered in our complete ‘Basic Engine Building’ DVD. If you take your block to a machine shop, they’ll do it for you, or if you want to do it yourself, you’ll need the cam bearing tool and our DVD can show you the whole process.
@BoxWrench hey! im having trouble getting my old cam bearings out. is there some sort of special tool or something? they seem to be really in there. the engine is a ford 400
are there any videos showing how to change cams on a DOHC engine ?
are there hot rod cams for v6 mustangs
Torco only builds High Performance and Racing oils. All of our oils are over built with large additive systems that would frighten most other oil companies. We do not build oils based on API guidelines. We build oils based on our extensive back ground in solving lubrication issues or improving performance in a racing application. Therefore all of our formulas have an abudance of Zinc and many other components that address Anti- wear, Anti-friction and detergency.
Yes, Torco makes a few Assembly Lubes that contain Molybdenum. In saying that, there are several different types of Moly. Torco uses what we call a Molybdenum Dithiophosphate. This is a liquid form of moly which less abrasive than a Moly Disulfide which is a solid particulate form. FYI, Torco is the pioneer of Engine Assembly Lubes. We were building assembly lubes before they were even considered or recomended in the engine building industry. All Torco engine oils contain an abundance of Zinc.
@TorcoOil Do you guys at Torco make a moly lube or equivalent intended for flat tappet cam break-in?
What about the fact that all major oil brands have removed the zinc content from their oils? This is causing major problems with people that still like to run flat tappet camshafts and lifters (high percentage of classic car restorations and hot rodders..)
Does Torco offer any oils with added ZDDP?
Awesome video, we at Torco highly recommend Assembly Lube!
this engine block looks heavy !
Great video. 5 stars.
@ajhnson true, this one short clip does deal with an in-block camshaft for a V8 pushrod engine…but, this is only a piece of a 3 1/2 hours DVD.
Almost every other section of the DVD has information and engine building tools instructions that you can use for any kind of engine.
You have pistons don’t you?
There is extensive footage dealing with piston removal, machining and installation. Also, all the gasket sealing techniques that are universal to all types of engine building.
Well this doesn’t help us 4.6 crowd!
