4.0L HO Jeep Engine Build
There is something about a freshly machined block that just floats my boat. :toothy10: I'm a sick, sick man, lol.
I now have zero deck clearance! Well, for the most part anyway, lol. Due to manufacturing tolerances in the rods the pistons range from zero to .002" below deck. I'm glad I compensated when I gave the machine shop my specs. After the first deck to straighten it out, the pistons were a max of .033" below deck so I told my machinist to take .030" off the top. :)
Short block is together and ready to cc. I'm celebrating with a "Cherry Duster" in one of my old Snap-on mugs. Funny how I thought she looked a bit old to me back in the day. Now she looks HOT!!! :-D Time is a *****. :read2:
