[99 to Life]

April 15th weekend,

I guess some decent news. I had to drive 4 hours round trip to snag a set of pistons for this engine for this weekend. Ooowwchh. anyway put new rings and rod bearings in, and isky cam, fresh gaskets, new oil pump, new intake. Had a hell of a time with a bolt I busted off in the cam, I thought it was 35 ft lbs in my head, found the specs to be 20. Learned to just double check cause that ate up some time. Primed it up steady 50psi with two rotations, but didn't have enough time to get it on the start stand, so next weekend I am gonna fire it up. Run a compression test, and then hook up the radiator and let this run for a while and see how she does. Might just throw her in if all goes well. The cam has been previously broken in btw.

My other 355 is going to need some crank work, which my friend is helping me out with, so I am hoping to have that going too sooner than later.

ejn74 thanks for the comment. Hopefully next weekend I'll have some vid footage for you guys.
