the flywheel has been lightened and balanced you can see where it has been refaced for the friction plate
Image
and here you can see where it has been lightened and balanced
Image
Image

and the crank has been balanced to they said it was way out of balance so good job I had it done, you can see where they have drilled it out to balance it up
Image
Image
Image

I have now all so weighed all the rods and piston to mach them all up and as you can see all the pistons weighed the same and so do the rods :)
Image
Image

using the pastigauge I fitted the bearings and crank,
here you can see the plastigauge
Image
Image
Image
Image

then torque everything down
Image
then take capos off to see how much the plastigauge has spread
Image

then using the gauge see if everything is to tolerance
Image
Image

and every thing looks fine to me all with in tolerance so i refitted all the caps and torqued evvery thing back up:)
Image

right we had a very good day to day with the help of Dug and Rich :) big thanks to both of you,
the fist mod of the day was to fit a latch to the shed door as it was flowing open all the time with the wind, so as in good old mixer moding style I did this :)
1 turbo gasket later
Image


then it was onto the build, we started by gaping up all the rings for each piston
here you can see the ring being fitted into the block so that we can use the feeler gauges to check the gap
Image
Image
Image
the rings needed the gaps setting so got the gap setting tool out
Image
then repeat for the rest of the pistons
Image
Image
after all the ring gaps were set up build up the pistons and install into block
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
after all the pistons were fitted in to the block then we fitted the ARP head bolts to the block
Image
and fit head and torque down
Image
and you end up with engine block back to gather
Image
Image

so I only have a few bits left to do and that is the block all ready to go back in the car :)
