Assembling pistons



Torquing the ARP mains

As it sits at home.


Still need to assemble the outside bits, powder coat/paint.

I am very greatful to gord bush for allowing my friend to leave my engine sprawled out across shelving for 2 years, and for all the help him and his team gave us with assembly information. He did an amazing job on the machining.
I am also very thankful for my friend Myles, who made this all possible by co-oping at gord bush performance, helping me pay for the block work, and tearing my engine apart and cleaning it up for me.

Rough Engine tally:
Engine: 200
Parts: 1600
Head machining: 200
Block machining: 350 (paid courtesy of myles!)
Total: 2350 (2000 out of pocket a few years ago)
Yesterdays memories of assembling my own engine at a performance machine shop: EPIC!!
