Made some progress last night, got the main bearings in and crank. Main studs and girdle. Then put the front cover on and the cam and tappets. Im still waiting on rod bearings, so i wasnt able to put the pistons and rods in yet
I actually just used a fine file. The rings were .040" over cummins rings and were actually right where i wanted them out of the box for the most part. Only had to file a couple
Oh my bad i read that to fast. No those arnt o ring grooves, my head is fire ringed and thats just marks left over because i havnt cleaned the deck of the block yet
Yeah it was nice to see it back in the truck! I want to put the head on but i still have a lot of head work to do. Ive decided im going to have the intake cut and either but or build a runner style manifold for it, so thats my next step
