Low buck 360 build
Other general updates from today's mad rush....
Goal today was to get this reciprocating assembly completed.
I decided to add a little bit of ring gap. Just in case I end up keeping it and decide, you know, a little bit of ring gap on a low compression engine could be useful :icon_fU:
So with the rings gapped, I assembled the rings in the pistons. Gave the bores one last super cleaning before popping the pistons home.
Squeaky clean...
Now pistons are installed...
Couple shots of the completed reciprocating assembly...
It spins really smoothly too. Taking right at 25 ft lbs to turn over. Pretty good for a fresh street engine.
That's all I got for today. Hoping to get the top end buttoned up tomorrow.
