So I'm almost done with the engine. The head was cracked but I found a rebuilt on the internet and thought I was ready to finish this out. However I noticed that the auxiliary valve chamber collars are not installed in this head. I can't seem to find these parts anywhere.
The manual says I can use a slide hammer and get the collars out of my current head. I am worried that this will damage these and I will not be able to use them again.
Has anyone tried this or does anyone know where to find these parts? I'm running out of ideas.
Here's some images of what I've been up to.
$800!
Smashed in fender removed
Rust removed and undercoated. At this point I thought I was replacing a battery then done. Put the new battery in and it wouldn't stop smoking.
Engine ready for removal
Engine removed
The engine on the floor
All the parts
Back from the machine shop and painted
Suspension parts painted. The black parts are covered in POR15 and still need regular paint applied.
Engine bay POR15'ed and painted. I removed the battery tray so I could fix the huge amount of rust and holes under it with fiberglass mesh and POR15.
