I might as well post the reassembly steps/photos, Matt Keith & I started putting it back together the last weekend of Sept 2012...



Sandblasted sheet metal getting rattle can gloss black,



Engine parts ready for reassembly









Reconditioned connecting rods,



Matt hanging the rods,







Lubing a bearing,



Heating the cam gear,



Gears installed on crankshaft,



Crankshaft installed in engine case,





Then the camshaft,







Case half prepped for reassembly,



Other half ready for closure,



Case ready, cam lobes lubed with red synthetic grease, bearing halves coated with assembly lube (MoS2 Molybdenum disulfide), case seam coated with Loctite 518 gasket eliminator,







Next comes the pistons & cylinders,





And the cylinder heads,





Then the lifters, push rod tubes, push rods, rocker arms, valve covers, fan shroud, fan, etc... We were working to a deadline (Kelleys Island) and may not have had time to pause and photograph every step of this build...











Rear engine bearer, F & U exhaust pipes, heat exchangers, muffler, intake components, fuel injection system, distributor, spark plugs & wires, etc....



Done.







Loaded in Matt's delivery station wagon, on it's way to Lisa's bus.

Nice! Any pics of the rear (front) main seal install?

AMAZING!!!! You're the best THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

And she is right where she belongs

Nice documentation and writeup, nice work! I'm glad the red shit on the gears and the red shit on the case halves is not the same red shit.....

Love the crank holding fixture
