Crank Install
Starting with the Main Bearings to the block, with plenty of assembly lube

Carefully set the crank onto the bearings and give it a few spins around just to make sure it spins freely..

At this point I like to check the clearances using Plastigage's

Rest of the Main Bearings on to the Main Caps and lube up the top…

Installed along with the Kiggly Girdle

I also like checking the Crank Endplay by using a Magnet and Dial Indicator.
Using a lever to push the Crank, The endplay was right at .0025 (Perfect)

Finally I removed the Main caps and checked the plastigage's, right at .003 (Perfect)

Piston/Rods Install

Using the Piston Ring Compressor, I wrapped it around the piston and tightened it down.

Used a towel and Hammer to press down the Piston into the bore

Lined up the Rod to the crank journal and torqued down the ARP bolts to 40ft lbs w/Moly Lube

Finished Product, giving it a few spins to make sure nothing hits and spins freely

	Great build! The only thing i wonder about is, you checked your bearing clearance with the plastigage after you had already put the lube on. Whouldnt the lube throw it off slightly?

	The piston tops look to be ceramic coated. Did you use Swaintech? Oh, and killer build by the way. Did you use a stretch gauge on your rod bolts, or just torque them to 40ft*lbs and hope for the best?

Hell no, i used TCC piston top coating

Not sure what you mean about hoping for the best, ive built quite a few bottom ends and never had a problem with new rod bolts, i only use a stretch gauge if the rods are used.
