So... Sunday morning we woke up a bit late, after Coffee and the arrival of Bawb and Mike (Bob was here before the coffee was even brewed) we started stacking the keg up.

Enter: My Garage..



The majority of the assembly went pretty seamlessly. There were only 1-2 bottom corner seals that rotated wrong.





We used Quicksilver premix, Vaseline, and GTX 10W-30 for the assembly.





Nothing says "gigity" like brand new housings and irons.





Suck it Bawb!!! I did something for the engine (other than just painting the irons) lol





Almost there!!!



I hate to see my rotors disappear from sight, but damned if I don't love where they're going...



Almost ready for the studs





Studs in, torque order written, down they go!







That's where we ran into trouble.... When we tore down my old engine I put the bolts attaching the flywheel to the counterweight back into the counterweight so I wouldn't lose them. Then I turned them in with the junked engine.... Le Sad Day...

Being basically unable to go forward we decided to wrap it up for this session.

Brian hit the road for Connecticut with his paramour, Mike headed home, Vlad and his buddy dipped out and Bawb stuck around for another beer and some dinner.


Ideally I'll be able to get the bolts in and finish making the long block next weekend. The rest of the build will be on hold till Brian can make it back down though..
