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) ![]() |

You guys are both right. A new washer and new bolts for the final assembly. I can't answer the question of how those got there except to say that someone didn't use a washer with this flywheel at sometime. While we did endplay we used an old washer and old bolts. When we installed it on the last build we used a new washer and the bolts Jake supplied. I can't remember when we checked endplay on the previous build. So, I can't say if it was us or not. With a new washer and new bolts, I think it will be Ok on final assembly but, I'll listen to all opinions.
