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
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
the rings needed the gaps setting so got the gap setting tool out
then repeat for the rest of the pistons
after all the ring gaps were set up build up the pistons and install into block
after all the pistons were fitted in to the block then we fitted the ARP head bolts to the block
and fit head and torque down
and you end up with engine block back to gather
so I only have a few bits left to do and that is the block all ready to go back in the car
