FORD 351 CLEVELAND CAMSHAFT SWAP PART TWO CAMSHAFT AND TIMING CHAIN INSTALL 

Great tip thanks mate!

@@thclevoking hi clevo king love the channel I had a 351 cleveland built standard stroke I'll pulled the engine out as it was popping through the carby and found out it was a cam lobe had new rings bearings gaskets new new cam and lifters put in the engine builder came out to start the engine in ran it in for 30 minutes all seemed ok I went to start the engine the next day and noticed it was popping through the carby again I pulled of the inlet manifold and noticed 4 valves are bearded moving could it be another cam lobe failure any help would be appreciated thanks mate

@@charliesammut4185 it very well could be. My trick is to record the rocker action with a phone and watch it back a dozen or so times to pick up if a lobe is gone watching each head. If you can tell it’s not moving as much and the pushrod isn’t bent it’s more then likely lobes

@@thclevoking hi mate I turned it over and the 4 that aren't moving aren't moving as much as the others

@@charliesammut4185 it’s very common at the moment unfortunately, heaps of lifters slipped through that were not properly heat treated. It’s causing a lot of headaches

Yes mate I will do a video on just dialing in a cam and I’ll do one on setting up a dizzy and base timing and the leads eventually too, thanks for the suggestions mate

The Clevo King awesome mate; thank you for the response... 👍👍👍

You never interrupt bro always good to catch up, that was it for that video!

It’s not that hard mate I think anyone can do it if the see and hear a few tips

Trickflow or CHI 2v mate but I hear the new AFD heads are not far away and I am very interested to get some when they are available

@@thclevoking thanks for that cheers

It can be done in the car it’s just easier on a stand to redo the sump gasket and be able to spin it around

@@thclevoking No worries. Cheers for the reply mate. Your mates/bros red XD sounds👌💪

You have to check the end float if it’s too much a new plate is needed.

8.4-8.5” is stock lengths, I like the Comp xe274H camshafts to really wake up an original motor.

@@thclevoking thank you very much for the quick response, I did not know the xe274 would work in the 71 cleveland. I appreciate it.

Rollmaster IWIS chain pnCS3080

Thanks mate , I've found one online, CS -3080 with shim , red series ? Will this suit ? Cheers

I have two dozen clevos here in my collection and out of the 6 that have the timing covers off I am fiddling with they all had the grooves towards the block to let oil bleed from the front bearing back to the chain. I don’t think it hurts to go backwards as I have undone one that way and it was fine. If you have an old plate you will easily see the indents from the small nuts that hold it in it’s more important to line it up with the exisiting grooves worn in.

This one is going into a mates Xc GXL now we will try and get a video of breaking in the cam when it’s all fitted up.

@@thclevoking I am not familiar with that car. I'm from the us , I will check it out though. Can't wait to see the start up !

Take the dizzy cap off and turn the engine over in normal direction and then stop and turn it backwards if it takes a while to engage the timing chain is loose. Alternatively you can undo the fuel pump or block off plate and peak at it and it will be obvious

The expensive sets are great for a sweet noise and being very precise to fit but they don’t really have much adjustment for dialling in a large cam. I use a set in one of my motors and I love it but not everyone can handle the constant whine they make.

@@thclevoking I enjoy your videos mate. Looking at getting an XD and stumbled across your channel. Wouldnt mind picking your brains abit more on the clevos

Another question, thoughts on a set of webers? Pros and cons?

They are great if you have a tuner that can rebuild them and has plenty of parts, and if you can find two identical ones. The problem is most of the old ones have been modified in some way already and it’s hard to get two minters to even get rebuilt and tuned to begin with. Heaps of people say they are better but not many have the right tools to get them set up and flowing right.
