Subject: [T3] Engine reassembly... > (i have to install fan, housing, engine tin, manifolds, carbs, linkage, > fuelpump, oilcooler, fuelpump, distributor, breather, exhause, oilfiller > tube... i think thats most of it).. > Be sure to put the pieces of tin below the fan shroud, before putting the fan shroud on. Be sure the fan shroud is centered up with the crank. don't forget the baffle under the crankcase breather. Do Not use gaskets there, only the baffle. It is its own gasket. Install the thermostat linkage, and adjust it properly. Anti-sieze on the spark plugs. Be sure the distributor drive is installed properly. Put a small amount of grease on the distributor drive thrust washers and slide them down a long screw driver into place. Then put the gear in. Yours is a '67 so you don't need to worry about the rear cross member. Be sure you dont bend the clutch disk putting the engine back in. > Also, can anyone run me through the break-in process? ive never > built/installed/broken-in a new engine before. ive read up on this online, > but am still unsure.

Don't over rev the engine, Don't lug the engine. Don't over heat the engine. Change oil, clean the oils strainer, and re-adjust the valves at about 300-500 miles. Do this again at about 1000 miles. Good Luck with the new engine.
