me too man.

but this excitement drops when i think of the replacement parts' ETA and shipping costs. everything's sourced out of the country

 

did few bit of wrenching with the button end last night with my mighty and fabulous engine stand



all OE main and con rod bearings are absolutely in mint condition. got to do the mic'ing of the bores later just to double check the cyl. walls' roundness... but as per the looks of it, the cross hatches are still very visible.

thorough cleaning and degreasing is next and i hope to place an order for the new piston rings and journal bearings very soon

thank you sir!

 

bump for some few updates...

too damn busy i can only work few hours on thursdays, nothing more.

micropolished crank:


lightly honed block:


dry and clean:


some few parts i'll need: the filter is a must for my DD at least.

 

bump for some once a week thursday work.

time to get some readings using my mitutoyo bore gage(0.001mm dial guage). not quite good results. the block needs some oversize pistons bores 2 & 4 top bore measurements are 0.018mm more than the service limit of 81.07mm as per the Helms Manual and bore #3 top diameter read at 81.104mm time to get some new slugs... ugh!



checking the ring end gaps:
