Alright, back at it again...
This is for a friend to show him how the lifter retainers work
Got the case halves together with sealant and torqued down.
Closer look at the raised barrel seats and you can also see the raised roof on the case
Next up, checking ring gaps. Everything looked good and only had to file a couple.
Here's a close up of a total seal 2nd ring for those that haven't seen one. The main ring has a step machined into it and theres a smaller ring that fits into that step. You position the gaps 180* from each other and it's a "gapless" ring.
While were on the subject of rings, if you're doing rings for the first time you'll notice that the 3 part oil ring has colors on it. It might be red and green or blue and green but both colors need to be seen when you put it together.
