Well all, I have been missing in action for better than a year now after looking at my last journal entry of April 2019!
Lots of stuff going on and just could not get going on the project!
However, this past weekend I pulled out all the parts for the C engine from the various corners of the garage and laid them all out, Did a re-clean on the block and bores and rinsed off all the storage oil I slathered all over the machined surfaces and put the newly balanced crank into the block. Used Amsoil assembly lube, rechecked end thrust, torqued the main caps and now prepping for next phase - setting the ring end gaps and installing the pistons.
So hopefully in the next few weeks (who am I kidding - months) I can get the engine assembled and ready to put into the run in stand. (I have a small diesel engine in the stand I have to run up, check and record before I can do the C engine).
Until next time!

Crank in and torqued!
