[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 8420159, member: 8854"] Finally it feels like progress. After all the test fits checking clearances etc. I got the crank installed for the final time. Got some assembly lube on there and put it all together. For those side spacers you have to turn out of the main caps I went to the local tool store and they had a long allen wrench on a socket for $15. So I purchased just a plain extra long 8 mm allen wrench and cut off the end and put it in a socket. Total cost $1.97. That way I could get a torque wrench on and torque them in stages 44 in/lb and then 89 in/lb before installing the side bolts which went to 15 ft/lbs.

[IMG]http://www.v8-ranger.com/forum/download/file.php?id=78&mode=view[/IMG] My rings are all filed and ready to go so hopefully tonight if I get some time I can get the rings on the pistons and get them on the rods and into the block.
