Re: some people -- update to rubbing fuel pump eccentric



well the magnet trick don't work on aluminum shavings, hopefully the filter did its job and filtered the shavings out,,i guess I would do a couple cheap oil changes and not worry about it if you already put a bunch of miles on it and don't want to drop the pan and flush it..it's propably done all its gonna do by now..It wouldn't hurt it to pull the drain plug and poor some diesel thru it to flush the pan out and then replace drain plug refill with clean oil pull the coil wire and spin it over with fresh oil till you get pressure, then reattach the coil wire and fire it up.then I guess you know all the sediment in the pan is gone

OK, I hear you guys BUT isn't it really too late? The motor is ALREADY ruined! I mean this happened before I ever bought the car, so those shavings, did their damage long ago. It's not like this JUST happened.
    I might  pull the pan ( major pain with headers, and maybe not even possible without raising engine) and trade out an oil pump/clean out pan, but whats the point really??, There is no undoing  what damage has been done and I am in no financial position to rebuild a motor. Please tell me if I am not seeing clearly as I know I am quite upset ever since discovering this,  this morning

pull the pan ,oil pan gaskets are cheap,no sense ruining a engine over a minor job,,i recently dropped an allen wrench down my 340 engine with the intake off and heard it fall all the way to the pan or at least the windage tray..i thought about saying the heck with it and not worry about it ..after 3 minutes of thinking about how foolish that sounded I went ahead and pulled the pan got my allen wrench back and no more grey hairs from it..slept good that night..don't tell anyone as that is supposed to be my secret that I wasn't gonna let out

Or get some rare earth magnets or ceramic magnets and stick them in strategic locations like on the end of the drain plug and flush the motor with diesel fuel or mineral spirits then put clean magnets in place and fresh oil and say your prayers!
My $.02 if your not pulling the pan

Neal please take the pan off it is a pain but easier than a rebuild. that stuff will go through the pump and like sand paper wear it out and the bearings. If your chevy guy cant put on a tc who knows what else is wrong you may catch with the pan off. If you do pull it off a oil pump is cheap you might just replace it , cheap insurance.  Not to mention contaminated oil on the cylinder will ruin them and the rings, goodbye seal, hello smoker.

Subject: some people -- update to rubbing fuel pump eccentric

OK, thought u guys might find this interesting. I posted yesterday about the curious shallow circle scratched on inside of my 360 timing case. I immediately knew it had something to do with fuel pump eccentric. But it was too late. I was tired  This morning i figured it out. In short, whoever put the  motor together was an idiot.  You could stand over motor and look down and see that the forward edge of eccentric was not parallel to front of block, but slightly askew.  That gave just enough extra reach for it to reach forward and hit inside of case.
I couldn't figure it out until I took off the eccentric to find they had not seated the  slot in the eccentric down over key in cam!!. They just bolted it down any old place.!! They tightened that bolt down so tight it distorted the little cup-like washer the bolt goes through. just smooshed it down. And in tightening it like this they smooshed out the key too. When i went to remove cam gear it wouldn't come.   I tried harder with a bar, and the cam gear just snapped This is when i realized the key was smashed out and preventing  the gear from sliding off cam . So I took a punch and hammer and attempted to re-shape the key, which worked, the broken hub then came off.
  How somebody could not notice a key and a slot is beyond me.
  So I need a new key and a new timing set. Yes I know there is the scary issue of where did the metal go to?? Well I guess I will just hope it's in the bottom of the pan and will stay there as I am in no position to do a rebuild. It had good oil pressure when I last had it on the road.
   PS The timing gear was set up correctly, but if I hadn't checked I would never have  known about this
