Major updates all. After much waiting and anticipation, the bottom end of the engine got built today. Doug K hosted and facilitated the event - I made coffee runs and defrosted the refridgerator :lol:

Anyhoo... here is how the day went. Venti Egg-nog Latte, extra hot.

Tediously cleaning out all the bolt threads

Torquing down the block to gap the piston rings.

Installing piston and rod assembly

We sacrificed a goat over the block to ward off any evil rod spirits :ph34r:

Alas - a nice clean bottom end.

Stay tuned!

Done??? It's never done. Running in December is the target. Engine break-in tune and work out the kinks during the winter months. Drop in one of those Doug K intercooler kits and LSD unit and then dyno time say.. March or April.
