I am enbarking on an engine rebuild - doing a RAT 2270.
I've been taking detailed pictures and posting them here. So far I've take it all apart. Now I'm doing lots of cleaning and ordering parts (and waiting for them to show up). Enjoy! teaser: Attached image(s) |

Quite excellent!! I did notice 2 things that I'd like to ask about. First, I noticed that you put the oil ring on the piston after inserting the wrist pin. Is that particular to the set of pistons you used? I remember putting all the rings on the piston before connecting to the connecting rod but that was with stock motors. Second, I noticed that you didn't bring each cylinder up to TDC for that cylinder when installing the rocker arms. I thought that you didn't want valve spring pressure against the rocker arms when torquing up the arms. Just casual thoughts from a novice.
