Well, the engine is in the car. However, as soon as I began to crank it over, two of the injectors decided to leak from the bodies. I figured I better face the music an get some 2.0 injectors. So there it sits awaiting a set procured here on this site. What a headache it is getting a set of injectors!

But, here are some pictures of the final assembly. Installing pistons and cylinders is straight forward. Setting the proper pushrod length is another matter. Thanks to Jake Raby for the excellent article on setting things up correctly. I had ordered his upgrade kit, as you can see in the pictures. I was able to get within 3-4% of correct valve lift and set the proper alignment with .020 spacers underneath each rocker assembly.

That was the most interesting step of the rebuild. Very time intensive but again, very interesting. It's nice to be able to take the time and know you're setting things up for success.
