How To Rebuild A 200ci Six

This Month, We Wrap Up The Rebuild Of The Original Inline Six From Gary Schweitzer's '65 World's Fair Mustang ConvertibleLast month, we took you through the tear down and inspection of Gary Schweitzer's '65 200ci six-cylinder engine at JGM Performance Engineering. We learned during the process that 35,000 original miles doesn't always mean pristine. Much depends on how the engine was treated. Gary's six-cylinder was loaded with sludge due to a lack of oil changes at a time when leaded fuel and antiquated lubrication technology worked against engine life. This made his engine very typical of the time period it was operated in. Removing tetraethyl lead from gasoline made a significant difference in the environment - and engine life. Advanced engine oil technology has made a difference too.inline_mediumwraptextrightRyan Peart of JGM tells us it's always best to install the camshaft first, whether it's a V-8 or a six. This allows easy cam access and minimizes the risk of cam lobe journal damage. Cam journals are coated with engine assembly lube, which has staying power. The lobes must have molybdenum grease (also called moly coat) for proper flat tappet cam lobe hardening when the engine is fired.24920044/techarticles/mump_0910_1965_200ci_six_cylinder_engine_buildupmu mp_0910_02_+rebuild_200co_six_engine+install_camsh aft.jpgTrue
