I had a pretty crazy weekend so I didn't get to go to my buddy's machine shop to finish file fitting the rings but I'll jump back on it when I get off work. I have been spending more time checking stuff than putting it together. Found out that my pushrods are way to short with the new roller setup.  :smile15:

THE BACE CIRCLE IS SMALLER. CHANGE ONE THING AND IT CHANGES A HALF DOZEN MORE. 3/8 HOW LONG? I MAY HAVE SOME.

Thanks Gas-Hole.

I finally got all the rings filed and on the pistons. Now that most of the time consuming stuff is done things should go quicker. I should have the pistons in and the cam degreed in tonight.

Ok guys it's crunch time!  I should have the block sealed up ready for heads and intake tonight. Hopefully valve springs will be installed and pushrods in tomorrow so I can finish tomorrow night.
Keep your fingers crossed! hurry.gif
