I got new rings for cylinder #2 last week and finished up the bottom end.
Here is a rod/piston in the compressor. Note I put some corr tube over the rod bolts to prevent them from scratching the crank during installation. I took care to lubing the shit out of everything before ramming it in.
Pic of the piston going in. I used a hammer handle to apply pressure down. The 2x4 is used to make sure the compressor stays down on the block.
Getting ready to install one of the rod caps. Note lots of lube
Gotta make sure the rod and rod caps go together like this:
Everything is now in place. Note the orientation of the pistons.
Annnnd a few minutes later the bottom end is put together
