Got some stuff in the mail today.
Also got some gaskets, but those aren't as photogenic, lol. It's really hot in the garage, so I don't know if I'm going to do anything tonight.
The plan over the next few days is to:
drain the coolant
get the intake manifold removed
pull the head
pull the pistons
dingle-ball the block
clean up the messed up crank rod journal(s)
replace the PCV "black box" with one of those nifty -10 AN fittings and run it to the hideous catch can
clean the block
clean the crank with various sandpaper grits and polishing compound
resize the bearing holes to match the crank oil holes, cradle oil holes, piston rod oil holes, etc.
gap the piston rings
blueprint all the pistons, rods, rings, and rod bolts for future reference
slap 'er all together liberally applying assembly lube into literally everything it'll go in
toss the head on with studs and fresh gaskets
get the intake manifold on without breaking something
get the exhaust manifold and turbo back on and hope I don't have to grind any more of the block away to fit properly
fill 'er up with oil and coolant
say the requisite prayer
start it up
???
beat the living piss out of it and hope I don't break anything expensive
Oh, btw, this is all in the next 3 days because my wife and daughter want to go to Tri State Street Car Cash Days...
