Haven't updated the site for a while and didn't do much work after initial assembly started. We ran into a slight problem when fitting the pistons. Two of the wrist pins would not spin in the piston. Initially we thought that the two piston boss's where not aligned properly and this sent us on a wild goose chase. Long story short the problem got solved by polishing the tight piston boss and things where to our satisfaction. Silly season came for my business and the project was put on pause. I took the office time to order the drag wheel setup as well as the coilovers which feature electronic dampening controlled with a iphone. :lol: So I also now have a Iphone.
We started cleaning all the parts again last week and got the components ready for assembly. Cleaning is the most important part in my opinion and many a days where spent.
Things thus far have gone smoothly and we are at the point of putting the heads on tonight.
Spraying the block with special cleaning muti. Strangely they call it the pakistani mix. :lol:

Here is a pic of the crankshaft assembled with rods and pistons in. Sandwitch plate goes on next and pics to follow.
