Ok heres an update on the entire project:
Interior:
Full Interior installed, thank you to the guys that gave me great prices on interior peices.
Engine:
- Recieved Pistons from guy on DSMLink forums they were in great shape.
- Found damage on crank and ordered up one from guy on tuners, it came in and looked great no rust no dings everything checked out.
- Pulled motor and put in new main bearings, new rod bearings, loaded up crank and torqued to spec with arp main studs and moly lube. Put in new pistons and sealed up the oil pan, looked at the top and realized that i put the pistons the wrong way. the larger valve divots were on the exhaust side instead of the intake side. Slapped head twice, then pulled oil pan and pistons, turned them around and sealed everything up again.
- Installed head (with intake mani attached) and torqued to 80. Today will torque the rest of the way, just had to clearify what to torque the L19s to. Will be torqueing 110 ft-lbs.
Next to do:
- Finish putting the rest of the items such as water pipe, and various other parts to the block.
- Attach block/head to hoist, and torque bolts on main seal, attach flywheel, clutch, transmission and drop motor in and put in the rest of the shit and call it good.
