Finall got around to start putting my motor back together. Only have 1 picture I can post but there will be more as things progress. So far I have the crank back together.

I dont see a torque wrench in the pic. You set your rods with that vice grip. Just kidding. What cam are you using? Carb or FI? 2.0L ?

Where is your rear main seal and "O" ring at????

Not to worry, vise-grips are calibrated Everything torqued down properly. Actually, after getting this far, my son stopped by and we reassembled the cases. I will post some pics of that a little later.
It's going to be a stock 2.0 w/D-jet and a slightly modified Elgin cam and euro pistons. Gonna continue on today and hopefully get the P/C's and heads on.

Sounds great GOGO Djet. I like the Djet

Okay, so far I have the cases back together, the distributor indexed and in (Had to rotate the clamp about 45 degrees though ) hopefully correct. Motor is up on the stand. Got the oil pressure relief in and the oil pump (Except for the front plate due to a torn gasket ) installed. Didn't get the heads lapped today so hopefully tomorrow I will have time for that and to install them. And my camera has problems .

Finally got the camera to work. So here is where I am so far.

Another.

Now which way do these Euro pistons go in? They have no arrow. And what's up that they do not come with the retainer cir-clips?

Just an update on what it looks like so far.

I know, last one was just like my avatar.

looks good kemosabe.. I did the same aluminum paint on my fan shroud too, looks good!

What kind of paint did you use on the tin and fan shroud and what colors. I really like it , and my engine is getting pulled for a rebuild soon?

I used an industrial enamel on the tin that we have at my office. I'll try to find out who makes it. All I know is the can says RED. The fan housing was painted with regular rustoleum aluminum paint.

Rusto is actually pretty good. My tins and fan housing are holding up fine so far.

BTW...those don't look like euro pistons...I see a dish. Mine are dead flat.

Actually that's a raised area. Seems to fit okay.
