Some Questions

[gary_bath_jr]

Thank you for your posts, all very helpful information, my only problem is I am still unable to find those 2 bolts..lol, cal me blind, dumb, whatever but I have looked everywhere and have removed all the bolts I can see but am still unable to get the cam out.

On a side note I have found 3 sets of numbers on the motor, 2 are stamped in and are the same the other looks like it was molded in when the block was created and is different than the others. I assume the stamped ones are the Serial.

Thanks

Hi Gary

The raised casted numbers are just that ....casting numbers ....not necessarily unique to one engine but a batch or model series.....

The other two are stamped at a later date and are UNIQUE as serial numbers to that block and can be traced to actual assembly date/place if they have a suffix/prefix.

Hey Bob

Thanks for that info. Well the fog has lifted and I turned the cam shaft and lo and behold........ the 2 screws I have been searching for. The cam shaft is now out and I have the plate with the mounts removed so I can put it on the engine I got from you Rob (Morrison). Once I get my gasket material for the transfer case I will be able to try a bit of a test drive.
