Where do these go?!

[trek97]

I'm not vague, I just expect people to have stuff in bits, look at it and think about what I said
Case halves and cam cover cant use gaskets, the bearing clearances could vary if there was something compressible in there

PJ I love you buddy...but sometimes...Hey Im PJ, just loop the thing around the doohickey and the combobulator w simply fall into the notch then squirt the yahwho on top the thing before you actually insert the whatsit. WHAT ARE YOU A MORON, WHY DONT YOU UNDERSTAND, AM I NOT SPEAKING ENGLISH HERE!?!?

OK Fin if you want me to slow down on the helping...so you can learn all this the "easy" way. Just say the word and I will "try" to stop. LOL
I just really like helping, partly cause it helps to reinforce what I have learned from great guys like PJ and the others. Personally, If I dont use it...I will lose it.
Also, when I start getting frustrated w jobs like this...I get so focused. its sometimes hard for me to think outside the box. I truly appreciate all the help I get.

Extra oil mods for 360
Inside clutch cover

Generalisation of how oil flows via crank mounted centrifugal filter

The bit you need to remove, getting spring clip off is difficult

Use Dremel and 3/16" grinding points, no need to go all the way to edge, the spring is a close fit inside

This should allow longer high RPM operation.
I believe the transfer piece restricts flow enough that it will move under pressure dumping oil back to sump and causing cam bearing failure.
Using thick(20W/50) oil causes this to happen even sooner
I'm going to post this as a separate subject

You guys are a riot, thats a great help PJ thanks a lot! Its not like you're being vague but as Trek put it: it might be our first time assembling an engine and the last thing we want is to misunderstand some instructions and make things worse.

I'm getting a lot out of these posts guys the last thing I want is to stop you from putting in your two cents, that's how we all learn!

I PROMISED MYSELF I WOULDN'T CRY... :'( (promise broken)

All Im saying is. Fin said his engine came in buckets. That could be one heck of a jigsaw. There could be some small, yet important things that may be easy to miss. Even if a guy had built engines before.
So, I want to apologize PJ. As everyone knows, I have learned alot from you. And I appreciate all of it.
