Engine build 10/26/2006

Make sure the cap is on the right way around the locking tabs to the same side of the rod,

and oil the threads and area where the nut seats.

I use a dab of moly lube and lots of oil.

I torque as I go; big journal rods take less torque than S rods.

Looking better all the time. Be sure to oil the rings and cylinders as you assemble

I go right down the line.

I fill the oil drillings in the crank as I go. I have an oil can I keep in a freezer bag just for assembly.

Oh, yes, the missing cookie sheet keeps down the mess.

I buy the better lifters in bulk; you can do some select fitting this way.
