If all goes well tomorrow I should have the full rotating assembly in the hoe. Let's hope!

I didn't get anywhere near where I wanted to this week. I have yet to get the crank into the block simply because I forgot how nasty the oil was that Manley uses on their cranks. The stuff tool 4-5 cans of CRC brake cleaner, a pipe brush and about 200+ coffee filters to clean. Even then the counterweights and/or non-journal surfaces still leave a fine dark residue when I wipe them down.

I did do a make shift mock up on a rod and piston to bend the oil squirters..or oil squirter. Not a whole lot too it just time consuming and a tad difficult. I also won't mention I decided to grind and polish the oil passages on the block. Whoops.

So Monday I am thinking I will have a buddy help me scrub the all living isht out of the block again with water and Simple Green, then move to getting the B.S. bearings in. We may have to bend the other three squirters first though. After that I will gap the rings and install the pistons. Then boom; short block done.

I am going to try getting the port/polish done on my head this weekend. I literally took all of my porting and polishing junk with me back home.

I'll get some pictures uploaded in a bit. That is if I took any today. lol

LOL The only picture I took yesterday. These aren't exactly fun to set with the good old HDs. The far left if about what they will all have to look like.

While looking at John Whalen's page on Facebook to reference these oil squirters I also noticed I have not yet clearenced the bottom of the cylinders for my rods. So it looks like Monday will be a grinding and cleaning day for sure. lol Can't win with this thing lately!

What do you expect thought when I'm damn near the pioneer of 4g63s at good old Northwest Technical. lol Wish me luck people.

Well as of Tuesday I called it quits for now. The short block is close to being done however I was having an issue getting the rod bolt stretch to work in my favor...plus the gauge I was using was jank. So I am going to wait until I can get an ARP stretch gauge and talk to some people with more experience on torquing Oliver rods. Here's some picjars though!

Just bought a rod bolt stretch gauge. Guess its time to finish up those oil squirters, get a head together and make some jam.

Oh and prep the car, fix the shit people did to the body and all that fun stuff. Wooo.
