Having fun reading this thread

Having fun making this thread. Its like waiting until the middle of the series Lost and then buying the first 3 seasons to watch back to back. I am still not to the present yet.

I figured my heads were fine but I wanted them to be looked over and wanted to get the seats replaced since I got them in my kit






I took them into my machine shop and they cleaned them, replaced seats and decked the surface



I took my crank into them because the clearance was too small for my liking.


While the machine shop had my parts I decided to paint some parts and clean things up before putting it all back it where it would be a lot harder to clean and paint.

Once I got basically everything I needed I started putting it all back together. I knew I would forget where stuff goes so I took hundreds of pictures and loaded them onto my IPad and turned up Pandora so I could have music and a great reference. Plus I had WiFi with Legacy central in case I got stuck.




Putting pistons in was a small challenge but I made due with what i could find

Couldn't turn the crank and look into the back at the same time






While trying to fit the heads on I found that the machine shop had put the dowels back in the wrong hole and messed it up so the block and the head had dowels in the same hole. I destroyed one dowel to get it out and just stole one from my old block to replace it.




I also added some ARP head studs to got from a member on here.



I got a new oil pump and water pump even though they felt ok but I figured why not? I have done everything else to it and the price was not bad.



Cleanest I have ever had an engine in my life. Almost don't want to put oil in it.

I got a bunch of friends together and we put the engine in. I learned you don't need a lot of help but it is nice to BS with people while you bust knuckles.





Some of my friends that are not as much of a gear head as I am. But as I put on my facebook event page "if you can screw in a light bulb, you can turn a wrench"



(notice a problem?) I didn't









Me hiding underneath trying to figure out what I missed.



Also cheerleaders are a great help too.

She is 19. Tons more to post up. Video coming soon too, since that is kinda my job I figured I had to make myself one since I make them for other cars.
