more pictures of the notched block




got the springs in

friend of mine was porting my oil pump put a whole in it.

went to a shop to get my oil pump welded today. only charged me 10 bucks cash.

this thread is so epic. keep up the good work.

Love all the pics! Everything looks great!

Seems like you shouldn't have friends help any more. They seem to break things

thanks man!

thanks man!

haha i know, right? everytime!

cleaned and assembled the oil pump and cleaned all the shavings from the block.
heres pictures of the ports and manifold from the other day.
started with this

heres the bent valve

rounded the edges on the girdle

started assembling the block today. I decided to just use that oil ring that had a chip on the end on the most bottom. i filed it down so it was smooth. this time i got all the pistons in real easy.


now im still waiting on parts to arrive.

before port matching


polished and buffed the bars on the plenum


cleaned and painted the manifold with silver aluminum high temp paint


sanded, polished, and buffed the fuel rail


painted the block and head with the high temp silver aluminum paint






head torqued down, valve train all assembled, have to do the valve lash still.






painted the old timing marks black, painted the 16* mark red and the 14 and 18 marks white.


4 coats of dark grey high temp paint, wet sanded between every coat, didnt turn out as nice as I had hoped.

photobucket pictures now work again!

heres the motor in the car!

That looks nice!! Really clean looking bay! Did you fire it up yet?

Thanks! tried too, it wouldn't start. cranks has spark and fuel. I'm checking the timing.

had trouble idleing for the first bit, it would slowly stall. took quite a few times of letting it run to get it to idle steady at 7-800 lumpy as ****.

Great pics! The internals look good.

Thanks!
