Race Motor Build-up

[Humble]

With that headache out of the way now I can check crank end play and install the rear main seal.

13lb lightened fly wheel, and the end play tool installed


good endplay numbers with 3 shims


Pulled the fly wheel back off (what a pain) put the o-ring in the flywheel and the rear main seal in the case (thanks for the tool Anton)


Now here's a tip, if you get the fancy chromoly racing gland nut remember it's a 1 1/2" bolt and you can't use the torquemeister on it

Got the pistons and cylinders on to check deck height. Make sure pistons are installed right side up (arrows pointing to the flywheel). In order to use the deck height tool correctly it's gotta be torqued down to head torque specs, 26 ft/lbs











Looks pretty good across the board, .069" +/- .001 not too shabby.

Before I quit for the night I had to toss on the dry sump pump to see how it looks and make sure everything clears.


Next up is setting up the rocker geometry, and i'll be doing that over the next few days. Final numbers for compression are about 7.7:1 very turbo friendly
