June 5, 2009- VIDEO UPDATRES- The engine rebuild has been completed for the customer. For those engine gu-rues out there these are the specs on the engine rebuilt- The block was bored 1.00mm (.040), the crank was ground- .25mm for the rods and .50mm for the mains. The main line was checked & fit, installed and fit the cam bearings, install the freeze plugs, surface the deck, assembled the crank and rods as well as the pistons & rings. A full valve job was performed. We did the engine run-up in our engine jig. See that video on our Facebook page. The front axle has been rebuilt. A new Custom Exhaust (2 1/2") has been installed. Note the new Ceramic Tune Port Headers....nice.
