Just came here to say this helped me a lot. Just did this in an hour. Well done for posting this and helping me on my rebuild. Cheers mate

Nice work Jason! Time to get Ned fired up again!

[@royworks28]

Thanks Gary, was able to start it today. Is running better. Moving onto exhaust

Fantastic job those heat risers can be a complete pain.

[@royworks28]

Thankyou, the hardest part was putting in the bushings

As a tractor trailer mechanic working on my own personal Jeep I only had one broken bolt use a stick welder 6011 rod weld a nut to it and tap it with a hammer not too lightly it may take a few times of welding and not on you'll get it🎉

Thanks for the advice

Wow, seeing the c-clamp snap in half, you got Hulk strength! Nice work.

[@royworks28]

Thanks, those bushings went in harder than I thought. The clamps I have are really cheap.

Hey Jason You got lucky with those broken bolts ! But Ya Got - um. I had to laugh when I saw those little C clamps. I was not surprised to see that snap. I have lots of much larger clamps, but I do all kinds of steel fabrication that requires larger tools. I do have the smaller clamps also as sometimes there is not enough room for larger clamps. I forget that the average guys garage does not need all the equipment I have gathered. It is good to see you getting so much done on Ned. And doing so much yourself rather than sending work out. Spring begins next Sunday ! Come on higher temps ! Work Safe, Be Well

Yeah I really didn’t want to screw up those holes before I tapped them. Using a nice sharp bits helps. I am a little embarrassed by those clamps. I got 10 of them for $10.00 at a yard sale.It was funny when it broke. Those bushings go in surprisingly hard. But all in all it went well.Now that it is done I’m glad I did it.Another learned process.I ran it today the valve is working good. Onto the exhaust. Have a good week.

We had to drill ours out a little to fit those bushings in... there was no way they were going to fit.

[@royworks28]

Yeah they are definitely too tight of a fit

There is a metal tab to index the counterweight to the shaft. Just like you fabricated. All my originals have had one. Not sure why they don’t include one with the kit.

[@royworks28]

Thanks for the input.I think the original rusted away because it just spun on the shaft. That’s why I thought it was working.I am surprised it wasn’t with the kit.
