There has been progress...
Not many pictures but I did get to visit my engine at the shop yesterday while delivering the rest of the parts for assembly. The machine work on the block is finished and the rotating assembly is installed. I dropped the cam and rest of the parts off and in the next day or so they'll finish up reassembly and prepare the engine for a dyno session.
One side of the block had a bad taper to the deck so he decked both sides to square it up, pistons now sit .0015 in the hole. The crank was 30 grams out of balance and that was cleaned up as well as a fresh plate hone and new rings and bearings installed.
This showed up the other day which hopefully along with a new oil pump will help with any future oil starvation issues.
More to come hopefully very soon!
