I pulled the zylinders today. After a little soft left and right pushing the crank, all zylinders were free and the engine cranked over... 6 of 8 Zylinders came out pretty easy but 2 are stuck on the second ring. Maybe I can remove them to the inner side of the engine?!

All parts have a "D" stamped in, even the connecting rod bearing... they show some uneven wear...


According to a list I found, the "D" stands for "1968", right?

Year Codes for B & RB Engines
A - 1965
B - 1966
C - 1967
D - 1968
E - 1969
F - 1970
G - 1971
H - 1972
J - 1973
P - 1960
R - 1961
S - 1962
T - 1963
V - 1964
4T - 1974
5T - 1975
6T - 1976
7T - 1977
8T - 1978

Interesting. I didn't know the engine internals were date coded.

 

[vdk2010]

It's what I found by searching for "D stamping on 440 engine". If there is another reason, let me know.

I had my camera yesterday not there, but I will make some pictures today.

I think we're all going to be fascinated as well as educated when you get to post those pictures. I still learn something new every day.

Hold the comments about being a slow learner.......

How can I get the windows down manually to remove the glass without breaking anything?

 

[bajajoaquin]

On a '67, you need to remove the motor assembly. Just be very careful to make sure and keep the spring captive, so it doesn't injure you.

 

[vdk2010]

Ok, if I have to remove the motor first, I will do that.

 

[70bigblockdodge]

Yes remove motor, do something to hold window up before your unbolt it as the large geared arm will cut your fingers off or open your palm like a soup can depending on where your hands are and how fast the glass falls, be careful.

 

[vdk2010]

wow, that sounds dangerous Oo

I like my fingers... I will do that today I hope. If I still have finders tonight ,I will report ;)

 

[bajajoaquin]

If you don't, use your nose to type out a post. But report either way.

I have some info on removing window motors in my threads. I think I put the process in my Imperial thread, and there was some discussion of it in a separate thread on window motors. I'm sure if you do a search on threads I've started, you can find it.

Also, there is quite a bit of discussion in the archives over at the Imperial club about window motors. A good resource.

My windows were glued in the up position with all the gunk.
Use caution as I don’t know that setup, may be best if you lay the door on the floor, take gravity out of the equation.

I remember the discussion about the windows on your Imperial, Joaquin! I will read it again and see if I can use this informations to not cut off my fingers ;)

I wanted to remove the window before I unscrew the door, but I agree that it's maybe a better idea to lay it down in order to remove the glass.

 

[vdk2010]

ok, I'm not going enywhere today... The bmw is in for inspection and is vw is dead because I never drive it...

More time to read old posts then. (found the posts in both threads)

 

[vdk2010]
