V8 Engine Disassembly, Inspection

Posted by humanpotatohybrid On 2024/3/15 14:07:48
Hello,

In the coming weeks I will be disassembling/inspecting my 320 V8 engine. I am already familiar with the engine service manual and can do those metrological inspections, but I am wondering if there are any other tips or shortcuts besides following the manual verbatim. The engine is out of the car.

Also, what should I use as a substitute for some of the special tools? For example, the damper I believe you can just borrow or rent a puller from an auto parts store, but some of the other things I am not so sure.

Also, does anyone know if you can get just a water pump impeller? I'd rather rebuild it myself than buy one that's already rebuilt.

BTW, I am also reading thru this topic:https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=18193&forum=3
