AMC V-8 Engines: How to Rebuild & Modify not only shows the steps of a rebuild in detail but it also helps you determine what kind of build is right for your project. It will assist you in making the correct decisions on compression ratio, camshaft selection and what performance parts are needed. Many engine replacement parts are getting hard to find, so this book reveals some of the aftermarket and restoration companies that specialize in remaking AMC engine parts. Items like camshafts, forged pistons, connecting rods, and cylinder head manufacturers are covered.

TeardownWith the valve covers removed, it is easier to see that the rocker arms are held down with bridges. This indicates that the valvetrain is nonadjustable and that it is a late-1970s-and-up engine |
Inspection & MachiningAfter the main caps are installed and torqued, run the dial bore gauge through the housing bore to see how close the dimensions are. It is common to have to remove a cap or two and grind them a little more. |
Rotating AssemblyUsing a small press, remove the old bolts by pressing down on the connecting rod. While standing the connecting rod on a piece of brass, the bolts should come out without a problem. |

Cams, Lifters & TimingThe camshaft gear is unique to the AMC engine. The distributor drive gear is not attached to the camshaft; it is bolted to the front with the fuel pump eccentric. When installing this gear, cover it with a camshaft break-in paste. |
Cylinder HeadsThe two different exhaust-port configurations are the pre-1970 rectangular port (left) and the 1970-and-later dogleg port (right). |
Final AssemblyAfter the pushrods have been inspected and or replaced, install some of the same assembly lube that was put on the camshaft and lifters. For stock rocker arms on engines where the rockers are not adjustable, make sure that there is the correct amount of lifter preload. |
