Woohoo, more progress. Got the last four pistons in w/o incident today, everything torqued down to specs and she spins smooth as silk w/ no clearance issues :D
Sean what kind of roller lifter are you going with? It looks as though it uses a non stock type of setup?

Sean, did you end up degreeing the cam or did you just slide that puppy in there?

My guess is he took the easy way out and went dot to dot. That is what I do. I'll make up for it with boost.;)

Steve, I have a set of the crane retrofit link-bar lifters, I didn't much care for the idea of modifying the dogbones and spyder. Once again, hindsight is 20/20 and had I forseen actually buying one of these blocks I would have done a solid roller assembly. Oh well, it'll give me a something to change down the road should I get the itch to tear into the motor again.
Dan, Steve's correct.....I took the lazy way out and just went dot to dot. I just didn't have the access to the tools needed to degree the cam.
I was hoping the brown truck would pay me a visit and drop off my Canton pan yesterday but no such luck, which sucks cause my wife has the next several days off & I could have made some good progress over the w/e.

More eye candy :D
Got the timing chain cover, w/p, balancer and my fancy timing pointer on...
Well hit a small snag today, was gonna put the heads on & check my p/v clearance but the 1/2" head studs were too big for the lower holes on my TFS heads. Gonna have to hit the machine shop tomorrow & borrow his drill press to get them big enough to fit the studs.

I had to do the same thing on mine. No big dill. Actually it was easier to just use a hand drill. The hole is alreay half drilled.
