Did you have to give a blood sample to get the exhaust? LOL

LOL. Thankfully the EPA isn't up here.
The downside is somewhere in the last ten years we follow the California emissions laws. I may have to order carless mids sooner than planned.

Seeing that brings back memories.

Ok I started measuring stuff today . WOW what a pain lol I measured the bearings about 10 different times , 10 different ways . Here is the final results....

Journal #1 - 0.00147
Journal #2 - 0.00152
Journal #3 - 0.00147
Journal #4 - 0.00165
Journal #5 - 0.00155

Also the thrust clearance is 0.007

Tomorrow is rod bearings clearence day and rod and piston assembly .
Man these engines are " tight ". Lol because I'm using a factory crank I used factory bearing according the the bearing series that is laser etched on the crank . I'm using amsoil assembly lube . The crank rotating torque once it's all torque in is less then 1 ftlbs .

Enjoy the process.

Also it's hard to take pics once I get going as my hands get oily and dirty and I don't want to wreck my phone .
I cleaned out all the passenges and run a tap in all the treads . No surprise being a brand new block the treads were all good . These blocks are ready to go right out of the box if you use all factory parts . The machine shop said it needed very little other then the torque plate hone to fit my custom pistons .

Well I did the rod bearing clearances today . And rod to piston assembly.

All 4 rod journals on the crank were all dead on at 2.12598

Bearing clearances ended up being .

#1 0.00147
#2 0.00175
#3 0.00157
#4 0.00123
#5 0.00175
#6 0.00157
#7 0.00147
#8 0.00165

On a side note 2 of the bearings were tight at 0.00118 and 2 were loose at 0.00196 . I swapped the bearing halves around and ended up with 2 at 0.00175 and 2 at 0.00147. .
Check out the wall thickness of the wrist pins . They are H1 tool steel .220 wall pins .

What ring gap you shooting for?

 

[Hpindy]

What ring gap you shooting for?

The ring manufacturer has a formula for the ring gap . See chart . I'm going with the medium boost 15-30 psi gas/alky/E85 .
So I will end up with 0.030 top ring and 0.026 send ring gaps. .
