If you want to know what is involved in the rebuild buy the ATSG manual read it and you will know if it’s something you can handle. Some things to help you decide: The kits are designed for a shop the parts are not labeled, the manual is not always correct, if you come across a problem it is up to you to find the solution, you cannot lose any parts and nothing can be installed incorrectly.Stallacrew said:
Small correction two were off not three. I put the first pack in and it was way off so I pulled everything back out double checked all the parts everything was correct. The reason it was like this is because it came from the factory that way, with such a large gap it would cause a slow engagement of the gear. With some research found that you can add an extra steel next to the last plate which fixed the problem. The kit does have some extra parts but you can also use old steels.Talyn said:
My new O-rings came in last Friday so I could finish. Complete teardown of the valve body is fun if you like small spring loaded parts and check balls. I like how everything turned out and I wouldn’t expect any problems when it goes back in. I didn’t work alone on this project I had someone helping me, he’s a little better at this stuff which is very helpful. This project isn’t for everyone and attention to detail is very important. I probably shouldn’t encourage anyone to do this.

Anyone jealous? Sorry about the dirt on the split loom.
So the next phase will be the engine it’s been sitting half built in my garage. I will be posting it in the street and performance section hopefully within the next month. So if you’re interested in a stroker that’s a little different, maybe spent way too much money and didn’t follow anyone’s guide head over and check it out.
