| Post subject: | Con-rod oil hole |
My question has probably been answered here before but, here goes; '62 service manual says hole goes to the left. '62 Motors manual says to the manifold side, same right? '65 Motors manual says '60-'62 hole goes left '63-'65 goes right. Here's the question, I was told by what I have to believe is a reliable source that the aluminum block engine used the motor oil for extra cooling to the cylinder walls, all others get the oil to the cam shaft. I really would like to get it together correct the first time, any help would be appreciated. Lucky |

That is correct for '60-'62 iron and all ('61-'63) aluminum engines: The oil hole points to the manifold side of the engine.All other engines ('63-up iron) have the conrod oil hole pointing to the distributor side of the engine. |

Thanks Dan, with the block having been surfaced and the number behind the coil being gone, any ideas on the safest assembly? It is the early style, 2463430-xx block. I looked at another engine that I have and the hole is to the cam side, but the block is of the 2202857-5 variety. Maybe I'm over thinking this whole thing? Lucky |

2463430 = definitely post-'62, so point 'em towards the distributor side of the engine. |
