Blown 7's ultra secret timing cover/oil pump

[jeepsr4ever]

Stage one! Designing the base plate

The baseplate of B7's T-cover is made out of billet aluminum and is 1.25" thick and 12"s wide and 17"s long. Its a nice slab of aluminum. Here we can see stage one of the build and the extra arm is for supporting a chain driven dry sump oil pump that will live near the oil pan on his super charged 401. You can see the extra bolt holes for the chain cover and the counterbored retaining bolts for the baseplate to cover plate. the stock oiling holes have been blocked off in this application.

Watching as a piece of ultra trick coolness is developed, is also very cool.. keep it up and you guys will be famous..(ok just promise me that if you get a tv show like Jesse James... you put the @#$%$$#@ hat on right!!)

[jeepsr4ever]

Just dont make any jokes about adding a chainsaw to a AMC timing cover :?:

[Soylent_Green]

no jokes, you just have to promise to brag about it!

[Blown7]

Let's see some pics of chips flyin' on that Aluminum..

[CJim7]

Just dont make any jokes about adding a chainsaw to a AMC timing cover :?:

ok, that's what i was thinking..."Why the hell is Bulltear adapting a crank-driven chainsaw? :-| 111!!! :?:

Thats going to be one mighty fine timing cover. Can i get one with the sawzall adapter option? :?:

[Dusty]

will that be an issue with the alternator? :shock:

do it right you could rig that cover like a cummins and have the powersteering pump become gear driven :lo1l:

[CJim7]

do it right you could rig that cover like a cummins and have the powersteering pump become gear driven :lo1l:
Why stop there? Heck, make the waterpump, alt, ps, and OBA all gear driven. That would be one complicated timing cover and gearset. :-| :!:

[CJim7]

Hey Dusty....not to hijack this thread....but do you ever make it back up to Missoula ever? I was born and raised in the bitterroot, left there last year and miss it something fierce. :smile: :razz:

[Dusty]

Hey Dusty....not to hijack this thread....but do you ever make it back up to Missoula ever? I was born and raised in the bitterroot, left there last year and miss it something fierce. :smile: :razz:

I miss it everytime i see a picture or an article or talk to a family member. i'll be back some day but my spot is down here for now.

I make it back at least one or two times a year. :!:

Got a wedding on the 15th i have to go back for

[jeepsr4ever]

This is the final drawing of the backplate. Jeff I will post up a couple pics of the machine work and maybe a quick video of a end mill going to town in the next couple of days here.

[jeepsr4ever]

Lots of pics here so bear with me as I try to explain the first stages ok. This is a 3 piece timing cover that will utilize the use of the Morroso 3 stage dry sump pump and free up the distributor gear from having to drive the oil pump. Pics in 3 hours

[jeepsr4ever]

Here is the first block to be machined. It is approximately 12"s by 17"s and is 1.25" thick. A spendy piece of aluminum :idea: Chucked a sharpie into the spindle and let the machine draw the outline of the part of the aluminum. Piccasso :?: The inside line the the exact path of a 2 flute 3/4" endmill spinning at 5200rpm and 27 inches per minute.

Holes tapped and the precision dry sump hole reamed out

RE_FIXTURE..If you look closely you will see the oil control grooves for a no leak condition on a soft gasket. This is the finale staging for the profile on the base plate. From here is will get a counterbore in the back and be flipped over for oil pan seal and tapped holes for the two front pan bolts.

Thats all for now...I know its just a tease but the best I am saving for next.

HOLY SHNIKIES MC! That is freaking amazing! Nice!

[jeepsr4ever]

Here is the backplate profile finished. It needs to be fixtured 2 more times for all the features....maybe 3. We will see how many +'s we want to add to this. The top plate (Water pump, timing marks ect) will likely have a full video of us machining it. This project is getting fun! :!:

It is known for it's water parks, but apparently there must also be some hot belles in Wisconsin Dells, well, at least one anyhow, right MC?

But what a dumb name for a city! Not near as cool as our PA townes like Intercourse, Bird-in-Hand, Paradise, Blue Ball, etc. (They're real, look 'em up. As a matter of fact, they're all right there in Fuzz401's back yard, ha, ha.)

I think that USTC (Ultra Secret Timing Cover) would make a dandy tray for hors d'oeuvres at the engagement party. And then it would be cheaper for Jeff, since it would be used.

[Lifted79CJ7]

So any more updates MC???

[jeepsr4ever]

YES

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/bulltear/Animation2sml2ver2.gif

[jeepsr4ever]

Finding accurate timing (Unlike certain import timing covers...uhumm), mapping the water pump bolt pattern and mounting surface. The stock timing cover is pinned down into location. The mighty block of aluminum on the side is heat treated cast plate (Good for this project). It measures 12"x16"x2.5"...thats 2.5"s thick! Thats a nice big chunk of aluminum :wink: After mapping the parts we need off the stock cover then we attack the large plate at about 10,000rpm.

:idea:

Jeff I hope you can take the teasing #-o

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/bulltear/jc334.jpg

[jeepsr4ever]

Timing is done...Jeff we can add alot of degree marks here, how many do you want?. You can see 0(TDC),5,10,15,20,25

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/bulltear/jc343time.jpg

[Blown7]

I guess that sounds good for the marks. (Never thought about that much I know around 10 degrees is what we key the idle timing on

And yea your teasing is gonna give me a heart attack before
this thing is done Lol

Seriously that cover will make you

And you very happy my friend!...very happy that the jeep will be alive with great oil pressure untill you run it out of fuel.....every time :!:

[jeepsr4ever]

Design work and distributor gear oiling has lead us to a oil cup for the distributor gear. This will be a milled circle with approximately .25" clearance for the cam gear and will surround the circumferance of the gear where the distributor gear does not. This allows more oil to be in contact with the cam gear and allow for even greater loads and never a dry spell on the cam gear. By doing this we also limit the size of the cavity and the dead space in the timing cover and therefor limiting the amount of precious oil it will hold and keep from the bearings. This new timing cover will be a precourser to the next generation of Bulltear parts and the ultimate billet timing cover assembly is well on its way!


I am looking forward to your comments Jeff when you see a finished part. Then we can move onto getting that aluminum body for your CJ and possibly anodizing the whole thing :lo1l:

[1980_Cj7]

Wow, MC! You're gonna carve Jeff a whole tub out of a solid chunk of aluminum!!!! I wanna see a pic of that chunk before you start in on it a 10,000 RPM as you say.

[Soylent_Green]

Wow. I better start buying stock in ALCOA!

I figured this would be a Primo piece, just not this good...

You know MC when you first suggested this Idea last year it knew it was gonna be good,

It has now turned into Great.

As for the body I was thinking if it has grind marks on the outside, and it isn't polished first I'll look like hell..

On another note I've been busy hacking Chrysler Hemi Powertrain Control Modules.

I got all the code now Chrysler is pi$$d, HAHAHAHAHA

You better buy another miller I gots lots of new projects for the 6.1 Hemi crowd. :t:

[jeepsr4ever]

Yes! I had to weld up the water pump area to allow the side of the water pump to seal. I am building a fixture as I type this to put the oil pan mounting bolt holes and oring cahnnel for the oil pan seal in. The other fixture is for the distributor hole and will be done shortly. These fixtures will be used for all our new timing covers. Their is a relief that must be milled into the back for the pump and I need to plug two holes and counterbore two. Almost ready for you Jeff. :idea:

[jeepsr4ever]

I will post some pics of the welding tomorrow.

[Blown7]

I will post some pics of the welding tomorrow.

Waiting............. :t:

[jeepsr4ever]

Right,... :sa:


Ok here is the welding to the water pump area. I used our steel welding table to allow a flat face on the water pump mounting surface so ti would be easy to blend in.

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/bulltear/mjef1.jpg

[jeepsr4ever]

Here I am outlining the material from the weld that must be removed with a water pump gasket. Jeff these gaskets arent as accurate as I thought!! FYI Did you know AMC originally designed the water pump and timing cover to use 2 alignment pins. You can tell a very accurate gasket from a std gasket if you see two mystery holes. These holes were for the pins that were designed to aling the pump to the timing cover. The holes are located in the two triangular outcroppings. We have a AMC engineer on the site who may chime in on these. The history behind these parts is fun to learn!!

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/bulltear/mjef2.jpg

[jeepsr4ever]

Here you can see the area that must be removed

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/bulltear/mjef3.jpg

[jeepsr4ever]

Here is the water pump mounting surface after welding and blending. Their is a cosmetic look on the left hand side but after checking it even a paper gasket would seal.



http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/bulltear/mjef4.jpg



More pics very soon...well as soon as I get back from the many Christmas's I will be attending!

[Blown7]

Where was I when you posted those pics???
Boy I missed them until I actually went looking for this thread to ask where the pics are.

Enlighten me Oh Great One.........
Why did you have to weld the H2O pump area to begin with?


J

[fifesjeep]

Kinda curious also... The piece looked good before, but now, it has a couple of eye sores :idea: #-o ... I vote on a re-start cut the next piece of billet and clamp her in the mill, re-boot/pull-up that program and press start. :mrgreen: :razz:

[jeepsr4ever]

The water pump mounting area was just too thin.

[fifesjeep]

What was the wall thickness? What kind of pressure would it have seen?... Or were you more concerned about warping?

[jeepsr4ever]

Not the wall the area, where the gasket sits. Its didnt warrant another $300 chunk of aluminum it just needed a little more material.

[Blown7]

You got that right Bro, as long as the TIG works keep moving foward. :lo1l:

I can assure you that with all the stuff on the front of this engine no one will ever see that weld.


Jeff

[fifesjeep]

Did you use a Tig? or was it Mig? Looks kinda big for tig then again I didn't look at the pic too closely. I'll have to go back and look at it.

[ironman_gq]

you can make some pretty large welds with a TIG they may not be the prettiest when their that large but you can do it no problem. been there done that I had to build up a spacer with TIG and I made some pretty big beads

Just a few finishing touches then its onto a motor for the final adjustment. ...well hopefully no adjustment! Just because verything looks good on CAD doesnt mean it will turn out 100%. I have learned this from many years of machining.

That is beautiful! And just think by the time it gets home it will be one year since it was designed!

i like all the fancy machining and the thought put into making a custom piece. and then mocking it up on the block, and i love putting on with a rusty bolt

[jeepsr4ever]

:?: Well it needed a pic whether it was a rusty mockup bolt or not.

So, how does "the Morroso 3 stage dry sump pump" fit up in this beast ? :-|

[jeepsr4ever]

Their is a seal on the lower portion and a counter bore that the unit fits in. Jeff says he will or has made brackets for keeping the pump steady.

[Blown7]

Here's some mock up pics from last year, I haven't finished the bottom mount as I am waiting to get the finished part in house to take in effect any minute variations the pump will mount to a extended engine mount plate

[jeep_man_401]

After all this fab and custom stuff is it going to be a dry sump system?

[Blown7]

No it's a wet/with an external tank also. It should hold about 20 quarts (9 quart sump and 11 quart tank.) It could very easily be a dry system.

[ironman_gq]

your gonna have $100 oil changes without figuring for filters! :shock: Its gonna hold as much oil as the tranny in my truck or a big truck diesel!!!

[jeep_man_401]

your gonna have $100 oil changes without figuring for filters! Its gonna hold as much oil as the tranny in my truck or a big truck diesel!!!

Why such a volume of oil? I have a total of almost 10Qts...pan, lines and 2 large filters. I've thought of an accumulator but those have only 2 or 3 Qts. Is your tank used as an accumulator (kept under pressure) or just a spare volume of oil (for high angles).

Their are some other things I just dont want to mention :oops: Needless to say I will now be wearing some gloves when I work with these plated pieces and machined pieces. Worst part about the eczema is that it was localized then it spread so I am recovering from the belly to the hands :shock: :smile: Benadril helps out!

[Blown7]

BTW MC if you send the pump back tomorrow throw a new Cam and dizzy gear in the box.

Thanks '


J

[Blown7]

Ok so I got a little work done, I decided on 2 inch diameter number 25 chain sprockets I couldn't find a supplier that sells double sprockets for 25 chain so I had to make my own.
I got the camshaft side done and the sprocket made for the Moroso Oil Pump.

Notice the fuel pump eccentric is gone foreever as the engine runs the big Aeromotive fuel pump. I had to face off the back of both the camshaft sprocket and the crank sprocket as I needed every thousandth of an inch to get everything to package correctly. At present the timing chain has 15 thousandths clearance between itself and the block.

[Goose]

Holy Snikeys Batman!! Thats as diabolical looking as anything I have seen !!

[tufcj]

Is there going to be any sort of an idler or tensioner on the oil pump chain? I can see a lot of slop with just a little wear on a chain that long.

It does look wicked though. Can't wait to see it buttoned up to see the outside of that cover. :t:

Bob
tufcj

Now that's one thing I've been thinking about for a year, to tension, or not to tension??????

To be honest I'm still not sure.

I've thought of a Nylon rub/tension strip, or a idler sprocket spring tensioned.

At this point anyone have an opinion???


Jeff

[ironman_gq]

keep it simple like all the ATV guys have done for years and use a rub type tensioner. No bearings or wheels to wear out.

[tufcj]

I'd opt for a rub type nylon too. Toyota used a hydraulic (worked by the engines oil pressure) rub type nylon on the 20R and 22R engines, and those things ran forever, even with serious abuse.

Bob
tufcj

[Goose]

Will there be enough splash lubrication in that area for a sprocket type tensioner?? The rub style as the guys have pointed out have worked for years, But on a chain that long there will surely be some lateral whipping at speed.. and a sprocket would control that. It would take a very long chain run and break it into three shorter runs..

[Lifted79CJ7]

OK, I have no idea how I missed this update, but daddy likes! Keep tha' pictures coming! :lo1l:

[Blown7]

i'll get some more pics but I may just use a nylon rub strip/guide epoxied to the side, or maybe screwed with 10-32 screws.

On a totally different note

MC I NEED A NEW H2O PUMP PULLEY NOW,
with the V Belt grooves .200 thousandths further back to match the original location.

It seems somewhere along the line the new billet timing cover grew .200 thicker for the OEM which is 3 inches 320 thousanths thick (3.320") to (3.520") so now my stock OEm water pump pulley is too far foward.

Well time for a new Blingin Aluminum one........ :lo1l:


Jeff

[Blown7]

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/waterpulley.jpg

So MC I need one of these .200" longer from the water pump attach flange datem back towards the water pump casting.


Jeff

[Blown7]

Ok more pics for MC, I'm not going to narrate much but if anyone has a question ask away.



So MC you see I have about .200 thousandths before I hit the coolant inlet casting
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May12008005.jpg

And here is where I machined away the bolt boss, now that's it's been almost two years since I did that, I can't remember why I did that

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May12008006.jpg

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May12008018.jpg

[Blown7]

I just realized just looking at the pics I have to redesign my crankshaft pickup sensor bracket. I originally used the fuel pump boss and screw holes, now I don't have a surface there anymore.... #-o

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/newpicOct1006004.jpg

On another note by refreshing my memory I see why I milled the water pump, to clear the flying magnet wheel.

J

[ironman_gq]

is that oil line on the bottom of the pump housing a drainback line to the pan?

[Blown7]

is that oil line on the bottom of the pump housing a drainback line to the pan?

Yes.

[Blown7]

So more pics, that really bothered me that I lost the ability to mount my crankshaft pickup, I figured if MC had just left material where the stock fuel pump boss was I could redrill and tap but it wasn't meant to be.......
I wasn't about to start filling material and welding as everything would end up like a pretzel, so I moved things


http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008001.jpg

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008002.jpg


Actually you can leave all the material between the "Arrows"

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008004.jpg

MC in the future if you make this setup leave the material straight in theis area it won't hurt a thing to leave this heavy (and you could also make a "inspection hole" here also.

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008006.jpg



Now on to solving the dilemma

So I pulled another old cover out of the junk pile and used that for a jig.

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008010.jpg

I figured I'd mill the front side to match the height of the new cover installed

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008011.jpg

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008012.jpg

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008015.jpg

And having the cover milled to the correct height I welded on a pad to use the front hole and I'll add a second tapped hole also

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008016.jpg

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008017.jpg


http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008018.jpg


And another cover to add to the "Sacrificed" to the timimg cover Gods

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008019.jpg

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008023.jpg


This will be the new mounting location

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008025.jpg

Now lastly this is how I saftied my cam gear on forever
I made a new washer .010 smaller than the counterbore for the gear.
I found two 8-32 socket head cap screws 1/2" long, I tapped two holes in the washer that line up with the keyway and oiling groove. I turned the keyway screw down to a point that engages in the keyway for 3/16" deep that keeps the washer from turning and I drilled a safety wire hole thru a 5/16 Grade 8 cap screw and saftey wired it all together, it will never come undone and I don't have to rely on Locktite.

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008021.jpg

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008022.jpg


Jeff

[Blown7]

And the real kicker is, even after the oil pan is attached mounted and torqued you still can access the timing cover area

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008026.jpg

[Goose]

:shock: While all of this is cool way beyond words, at this point I have to ask the question.. When will you and MC just give up and build a motor from scratch?? I mean dang, you are almost there.


(And it is way cool.. I cant wait to see the dyno pulls now)

[Blown7]

So now the final pics
The vibration dampners a little close (.050 thousandths clearance) but it doesn't rub so it's good to go

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May72008006.jpg

I had to weld a 1 inch pipe coupling to the end of the H2O pump as the new pulley will be too close to the stock radiator clamp location, after TIG welding I brazed over the weld to close any porosity I may have had in the weld as changing the pump will be a PIA due to the tightness of the installed engine in the chassis.

Now here's a thought, ...
Jeff, you may need a replacement frame when you twist that one up -
Rich you have a 'spare' frame and (body) plus a spare D60 (soon)

see where this is going :wink: :t:

Well this frame was one of the last custom frames Phil Matkins made and I modified for a double triangulated four link so it's manufactured out of 1/4 inch wall 2x5 box tubing with top and bottom 1/4 inch caps. That ain't never gonna twist.

Now yesterday I drove over to the landfill scales to get a total vehicle and front and rear axle weight to order the front Eibach coil over springs from Poly Performance. and this pig weighs in at 5040 Lbs with full fluids minus the nose and windsheild.

But the front and rear axle weights are within 40 pounds!
2540 verses 2500

[Mudrat]

Well being an A&P sorta guy, I'm not surprised the weight and balance was so close. And I don't think the weight to HP ratio will be too outta whack even with a 5040 HD frame :shock: :razz: :mrgreen:

I guess thats why just about everyone has heartburn with the AMC V-8 series...... and thats why I went the external route with the Moroso racing pump.

[Blown7]

Just an update, I've got 200 road miles on her now, many 0-130 MPH digs, (could be a higher MPH but I run out of gear on the TH400) and Oil Pressure still is rock steady at 70 PSI whether it is Idle or WOT.
No problems to report at this time other than lots of fun and I have to remember to give the Jeep wave all over again.
The Coilover/4 link drives better than any CJ I ever drove.
High speed off road does take a little getting used to for body sway can be unnerving. Even though it is planted, it feels funny (like what you see in Baja when the trophy trucks run on the asphalt at the start where the front wheel is lifted around a corner, but the truck is still balls out.

I want pics of the front wheels off the ground! :? I can only imagine doing 130 in a CJ [-o< I get scared at 50 in mine!

Great job!
