In a few weeks I'll have round 2 with my 05. That one will take a little bit longer, but still shouldn't be too bad.

so 100%meths build went well until we went to put the rods on the pistons. the wrist pins are a Lil to tight for my liking so the engine will be finished in 2 weeks.
the problem is the small end of the rods were not set properly from the manufactur. the wrist pins go in but r to tight. if we wouldn't had ran into that issue the entire build would have take less than 24 hours and that with breaks and going out to eat.
i take blame for this cuz i trusted Wat i was told by the manufactur. all brand new parts so it should have worked.
made some calls today. they shouldn't have been tight so the rods will get the small ends honed for proper clearance.
we stuck the new block and crank Back in the car so it wasn't a total loss weekend.
Wen i go back down we will drop the pistons in and stick the head on and time it all up while its in the car.
then vroom vroom. lol
