Engine rebuild starting this weekend!

[mushroom_toy]

Hopefully...but anyway yeah got my block, head, pistons, and crank back today from the maching shop, and picked up an engine stand last night, so hopefully Tim will be coming down to help this weekend, and hopefully Ill have it mostly put back together. I have most everything just need some assembly lube and some plastigauge for the most part, oh and some fist start oil.

Engine Im rebuilding is a carbed engine, so got the crank polished, block cleaned checked, and bored .20 over. Got .20 over pistons put on and the rods cleaned, etc, and got the head cleaned and new valve stem seals in since I had them in the rebuild kit as well. Gonna be putting in a delta 272, and going itbs with this motor, should make for a pretty fun/aggravating daily. Got new std. main/rod bearings to go in, miata arp headstuds, pacesetter header, and some other stuff planned as well. Hope everything goes pretty good!

Need to get a timing belt too, but Im pretty sure Im gonna pick up a Honda one.

I've been busy trying to finish f... grad school; hopefully, it will be over soon.
I still have to do some work on the old clunker; since installing your trans I have not done that much... need to do some brake work, and taking care of a couple of leaks (dreadful crankcase gasket )

So you are gonna be working on the A20 and on a truck??? that's fun squared!!!
Get all the s... you need; I hate when I have to stop working to drive to the store and get some late-minute thing

Again. have fun and I hope it won't rain again...
