I put a steel crank in my 57 292. Big trucks had the steel forged cranks. The 292 came from a 57 t-bird. Sweet engine. Number all your parts. Clean all the bolt holes of gunk. There sre ways to pressurize the top oiling system. I loved rebuilding my 292. 🤩

So many opportunities to screw yourself on assembly of a WHY Block. I think the engineers were on crack. Just finished my first build of a 292. Made so many notes along way. And really won't hurt my feelings if I never need them again.

Thank you! I'm hoping to get around to a compression test in the next week or so. That will help me understand the engine condition better.

The rubber insulator on the Y Block crank damper is known to deteriorate and cause the outer ring to slip making the true TDC not accurate. It would be best to bring #1 cylinder to TDC verified by valve movement, then confirm that the distributor rotor is just about spot on with #1 on the cap.

Ha ha, thanks. I was really rushed trying to get this episode out, so I didn’t get a chance to dig into the timing issues yet.

Thanks for watching! If you have tips on how to figure out the timing on a 292 y-block, I'd love to hear about it. If you're down to stop by and help me out in person here in Utah County, just hit me up at [email protected]. Much appreciated!
