Bernie drove his ass over to my buddies house and helped us through the rotating assembly on Kc's engine. It is all done and good to go.

Now for the front case. That worries me a bit since I've heard mixed stories about stub shafts and people making mistakes with the install. We are eliminating the Bs'.

Once the front case is on, it's pretty simple rolling from there. I've read a lot of shit about torquing ARPS. I am going to stick with what I was told by a proven person and torque to 80 ft lbs and retorque to 80 ft lbs at like 500 miles or something.

Oil squiters. I forget the torque spec but it's not much. Use a little bit of red loctite ? I don't suppose great things will happen if one falls off =/

Break in period. I want to see what people on here have done for break in, who built the motor, and how it's doing today. I have gotten about 4 different ways ( with many variations of each) to breaking in a motor. I think we will do the vac pull routine and take it on the free way and do 3rd gear pulls through the gear till like 90ish, then back it off and let the engine break down to like 30 several times. I think that will seat the rings on both sides well. Someone chime in if they have ideas please!! Up for ideas.
