finally put together this bottom end and got my downpipe in!
finally, with the help of Trenell, (thanks again bud!) and working till 5am last night, we got this bottom end together. the first attempt i managed to break a piston ring thanks to the shitty piston ring compressor sold at crappy tire (NEVER BUY THAT!!!). thankfully, gram at canadian clinder head had an extra one that he hooked me up with
so i picked up a good ring compressor, and we finally gave these pistons and rods a new home. i plastigagued it twice, and every bearing was spot on. i also ended up using topline rod and main bearings. trenell is one good friend because without him i woulden't be able to put this thing together so thanks again brotha~!!!!!!
i also got my downpipe in, i made it myself, did all the cuts and mocked it up then with the help of livinlow, he got his buddy to tig it up (thanks yO!) for the first time of me fabricating something, i think it came out pretty damn good. :*****: i took alot of pics, but i'll upload them tonite, but for now here's some....the olympic build continues :laugh1:
crank in:
"uhh...trenell, how do you do this again?"
trenell: "NOOB! gimmie that!"
all set and done :
and the downpipe

Saw the progress in person and it's looking real good ladies and gents.
Actually Fuzzy, Trenell and I were staring at the progress and how much has been done in just a span of a few weeks time.
