Looks good. Did you check the crankshaft axial play?

Sincerely,

I've never seen one apart like that. I always wondered how they built it so they could assemble the wrist pin clips on a flat motor seeing as how you couldn't stuff the pistons down from the top like V8 or a four cylinder.

That's 0.007". That figure looks to be a mite high. I sort of expected it to be less than 0.005".

What is callout for the crankshaft play?

Macster.

That's the funnest part. This is where the "special" tools come in. I will take a pic of the access hole you do the surgery thru.

This engine is 11.8 cr & will have plenty torque for a street car but I can build a duplicate with 9.5 cr...
