still waiting on my update texts to post but no dice yet lol i still have faith in Matt though. He also knows i will arrive at the shop on Feb 28th bright and early
new machined block ended up being too loose for me to use with my pistons so i swapped with the owner of the shop for another block and got it machined. so pistons and rods are assembled. block is cleaned up. and bearings are in and measured. motor will be assembled by the end of next week and that is progress.
Very nice!!!! I got mine out yesterday for a bit and found that the drivers side c clip eliminator is leaking AGAIN.... going to have to tear it back down
Damn man that sucks....im a bit away from being finished but at least I see some progress but than again my motor is being promised to be done this week
Crank is in and done, main bearing clearance are all set to .002 inner and outer studs are torqued. rods and pistons are assembled and pin clearance checked.
only three more pistons and its shortblock is done, heads are ported, custom cams are installed. tomorrow should bolt it all back together
just ordered side bolts for the block, head gaskets, valve cover gaskets, timing cover gasket, oil pan gasket, rear main seal gasket, front seal gasket, and gaskets for the water pump, water outlet, intake gasket and oil filter housing.
