A simple check to make sure pistons are in the right holes and in the right direction-rod numbers pointing toward their cylinder bank and piston arrows or notches pointing forward. These pistons are numbered because they were fitted to the bores to obtain consistent pistonto-bore clearances. Even the most accurate pistons or bores are not exactly the same diameter, but don't think you have to do this because fitting pistons is not a standard rebuilding procedure. Checking connecrlng-roa slae clearance. It should be 0.010-0.020 inch with a maximum allowable clearance of 0.023 inch. Align crank and cam like this when installing timing chain and sprockets. Crankshaft key is slightly left of straight-up. With crankshaft sprocket and damper bolt and washer on crank end, fit cam sprocket and chain to crank sprocket so timing marks line up. Sllde sprocket-and-chain assembly back so cam sprocket engages camshaft nose. It's going to be tight if you are installing a new chain and sprockets. Fully engage cam sprocket with its drive pin by turning crankshaft clockwise whlle pushing back on cam sprocket. Install the Fuel-Pump Cam-Secure the camshaft sprocket, making sure you install the fuel-pump cam, or eccentric between the sprocket and the attaching bolt and washer. There are two basic types of cams, the one-piece and the two-piece. One-piece cams were used on the early 429s until they changed to the two-piece design during the 1971 model year. 429CJ, SCJ and Police engines continued to use the one-piece cam. The Police version of the 460 as well as 4291460s installed in F150 or larger trucks also use the one-piece design. All other fuel-pump cams are the two-piece design. The difference between these two fuelpump cams is the fuel-pump actuating arm slides against the one-piece cam much in the sqme way a lifter slides against its cam lobe. The outer ring of the two-piece cam rotates OII its inner piece, reducing sliding action between the fuel-pump arm and the cam. Sliding action is not harmful to the cam or arm.The twopiece type is less costly to manufacture, which is why the change was made. As opposed to most one-piece fuelpump cams for other Ford engines, the 4291460 types doesn't depend on the camshaft drive pin to locate or drive it. It depends on the clamping force of the camshaft-sprocket bolt. Consequently it only has one hole in it. This doesn't present any particular problem unless the bolt loosens. If this happens, the cam rotates on the bolt rather than against the fuel-pump arm and no fuel is pumped to the carburetor. In a way this is a good feature because it brings attention to a bigger problem-the loose bolt. Unlike the one-piece cam, the twopiece locates to the cam sprocket with a ENGINE ASSEMSLY 107
ent-down tab on the back of the inner part of the cam. It fits loosely in the cam drive-pin hole. Install the fuel-pump cam using the 3/8-16 x 2-inch or 1 -112-inch-long, grade-8 bolt-depending on whether you have a 351C and 351M/400 or a 4291460. A dab of Loctite on the bolt threads is good insurance against the bolt loosening. With a washer behind the bolt. attach the cam to the camshaft nose and timing-chain sprocket and torque it to 40-45 ft. lbs. Slide the oil slinger over the end of the crank extension and you're ready to install the timing-chain cover. Don't worry about the loose slinger. When the crankshaft damper is installed, it will sandwich the slinger (and spacer sleeve in the case of the 4291460) between it and the crank sprocket. TIMING-CHAIN COVER AND CRANKSHAFT DAMPER If you haven't cleaned the front engine cover yet, do it now. Remove all the dirt, grease and old gasket material. Use a punch and a hammer to remove the crankshaft oil seal. Carefully knock the seal out the back of the cover by placing the punch behind the inside lip and gradually work around the seal until it falls out. Don't try to knock the seal out with one whack or you may break the die-cast aluminum cover of your 4291460. With the old seal out of the way, clean the seal bore in preparation for receiving the new seal. Install the New Seal-You'll find a new oil seal in your gasket set. Coat the outside periphery of its shell with sealer. How you install it depends on whether you have the 351 C, 35 1 MI400 sheet-metal cover, or the 4291460 aluminum cover. The seal is best installed in the sheet-metal cover by clamping the seal and cover between the jaws of a vise and using the vise like a press. This forces the seal straight in without. it cocking. If you don't have a vise, you can install the seal with the cover on a bench. Use a socket or piece of pipe slightly smaller than the seal OD-2-112-inch diameter is about right-which will seat against the seal edge. Doing the installation this way is frustrating because the seal will cock, but it can be done with some care and patience. An aluminum cover seal can be installed similarly, but the seal must go in from back-to-front rather than from the front side of the cover. To install the seal on a bench, support the cover immediately in front of the seal bore, then use a 2-112- inch OD socket or piece of pipe to drive the seal in as I just described for the sheet. Complete cam-drive assembly by installing fuel-pump cam. You may have one of three cam types depending on your engine. Locate the cam over the sprocket and secure it with the attaching bolt and washer. Small hole in one-piece cam locates over camshaft drive pin. In case you have a 429/460 and are wondering, its fuel-pump cam doesn't have the small hole. The cam depends on bolt clamping force to prevent it from rotating relative to the cam. Torque the bolt 40-45 ft.lbs. Slip crankshaft oil slinger back against crank sprocket and you're ready for the front cover. Rather than using camshaft drlve pln, twopiece fuel-pump cam locates to cam sprocket with bent-down tab projecting into sprocket drive-pin hole. Outer ring turns on inner cup. Removing front seal from 351C front cover. Drive seal out front of cover by working around seal backside with a punch and hammer. If yours is a 429/460, drive seal out the back in similar manner, however be considerably more careful because the cover is cast aluminum. . If you have 351 C or 351 M/400, replace Its front cover if it's rusted like this one. Rusting through results in water being pumped into the crankcase. Using anti-freeze will prevent this problem. Support front cover on a firm flat surface and drive seal into place with steel, aluminum or brass tubing which matches the seal's outer shell. Drive seal into a steel cover from the front side and into an aluminum cover from the back. Be sure the seal lip points rearward as installed in the engine.
