Assembly of the short block took a lot of time. Next time, I'll let someone else assemble this part.
Each piston assembly is laid out and assembled. Getting the circlips on the pistons was no fun but a big highlighter pen helped my thumbs. Each ring was filed to fit the clearance requirements. I tried to be extra careful to avoid burs and keep the filing square to the ring.
I bought an adjustable conical ring compressor and it was awesome!
Slipping each piston and rod into place.
Completed assembly.
The main cap bolts are torque to yield items that you torque, then rotate to a specific angle. The process is several steps long.
Side bolts are installed after the main cap bolts.
The side cap bolts are also torque to yield.
Short block complete.
(All work shown in this post was done in 2018)
