Default It sure does feel good finally installing parts

ITs been since last Sept that I had a running engine <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> Been trying to pick all the parts that I'll need or wanted to upgrade along with getting everything I already had to install when the engine eat that damn nut. So its been a while since I've actually accomplished anything. Although I didn't really make a dent in whats needed to complete this project its starting off pretty good.

Rings didn't need any filing to get into spec, Main and rod clearances were all between .0026-.0031 and I got the pistons assemblies back together and waiting on getting all the cam bearings back in to fill the holes. I finish the cam bearing either tonight or tomorrow then the short block should take shape very quickly after that

Almost there <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />
