Re: Over revving issue
Finished scraping off the top of the block with a razor. Nice and clean again!
Got the rods/pistons back in. Big thanks to Old Man Hill for letting me borrow his piston ring compressor tool, it worked perfectly. Torqued the rod bolts to 45lb/ft w/ ARP Moly Lube. Retorqued them 5 times because that's what I read to do on another forum.
Scraped the RTV gasket off the bottom of the block. Got a majority of it scraped off the oil pan.
Got the new L19's screwed into the block, and slid the new head gasket on over them.
Decided that's enough for one night. Tomorrow I plan on finishing cleaning all the gasket off the oil pan, then reinstalling it. Then start to bolt the manifolds back on the head. And then get the head set back down on top of the block.
