Finally some progress. Tonight after it started to cool down I got into the shop and started to put this lump back together again. I got the cylinders honed, and then I went to work getting the new main bearings installed. The crank got polished and then went right back in with the new main bearings. Checked all the under piston squirters, check, and then started to torque down the main caps. Well almost... My light duty torque wrench which goes up to 150 foot pounds was in fine working order, but the main caps are to go to 176 foot pounds. I went and got my 250 foot pound torque wrench which is all electronically controlled, and it's battery was dead, UGH!!!
So tomorrow I will go get a new battery, and then I will torque it down to the correct torque spec.
Then I will get the cam back in, along with the new pistons. Should be a fun day!
Stay tuned!
