Lay down Sally...
Well rings came in Monday, first day I had to get some work done. So had a buddy over to help get the pistons in. Went pretty smoothly and everything torqued down just fine. Last piston gave me a fit because the head dowl pin block the compressor from fitting flush to the block so it cocked the piston and I destroyed the lower compression ring and one of the oil rings. So notch the compressor and bam fixed. Got the cam installed too! Put the timing chain tensioner on and was going to do the timing gear and chain but my new cam did not have a key on it and the one from the magnum cam was way to small. So I take it there is two? One for a long snout and one for a short? Oh well will check into it.
Enjoy folks!
