All the parts are back except for the ones I forgot to order which I don't know about yet cause we haven't got that far yet. I'm sure I have enough to build 95% of the engine anyway. It's all new except for the heads, oil pump, and crank which was repolished.
Gotta take a first step. Ring gaps. Here's the top ring at a depth of 12 mm (top of piston to 2nd ring). .019". These are pregapped from JE. Everyone say run em at that gap. All rings were between .018" and .020" Dave Attached image(s) ![]() |

On to the crankshaft. Time to install #3 main bearing, timing gear, spacer, dizzy gear, and retaining ring. #3 bearing is on with hole for dowel toward the flywheel end. The wife is gone and the gears are in the oven heating up. Fortunately, I have about 6 hours to get the smell out.
