WISH LIST FOR REDESIGN
The following is a wish list of changes that have been considered in the upgrade of the four redesigned parts to modern engineering standards.
Five main crankshaft bearings
Larger diameter main and connecting rod bearings
Shorter (reduced length) main and connecting rod bearings for stiffer crankshaft
Indexed bearing caps for alignment
Replaceable insert type bearings
Full pressure oil system to all main, rod, and cam bearings
Engineered 100% counterweights on crankshaft
Counterweights equally spaced about connecting rod
Some kind of super rear main seal
Positive scavenging of the rear main seal cavity
A positive seal at rear of camshaft
Replaceable camshaft bearings
Positive seals to keep oil from leaking at main bolts
Positive retention for oil pump (without modifying oil pump)
Built in plumbing for oil filter option
Option of taking an oil pressure reading at a galley feeding main bearings rather than at the oil pump
Positive retention of oil pump drive bearing (A-6560)
Drilled oil passages in bosses rather than the pressed in tubes that feed oil to the main bearings
Oil passages that enter the center of the main bearings instead of being offset to one side
Larger and better flowing intake ports
Thicker walls on exterior water jacket
Thicker main bearing webs
Relocation of front main bearing web to center of bearing for added strength
Steel exhaust valve seats
Incorporate the latest (Model B) design for the water deflector fin located just inboard of the water inlet on the side of the block.
