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) ![]() |

Ha Ha Dave. When I did mine I didn't bother to make the run from the oven to the garage with the hot gears. I brought my crank inside and set it up on the kitchen counter right next to the oven. I did get some strange looks from the wife on what I was 'cooking'. But she didn't complain. No smell, no mess, so I wasn't worried.
