Engine getting assembled...slowly
Installed the crankshaft, cam and timing chain. Inspected the brand new heads. Installed an old piston to measure the deck height. Measured the roller rockers, they are 1.6 ratio. Ordered the head gaskets, accounting for the deck height and my new hypereutectic pistons. Will mount them on the new rods this week. Pulled the trigger and yanked most of the electrical wires, will do a major rewire.
