So here's a massive update on the car. It's been about a week into the update but I have two visits worth of decent (ish) photos. The gentlemen working on the car is still in the process of measuring everything out and getting all the minor bits together. He's doing everything to the best of his abilities and I respectively will wait. Completion time is looking like some time next week. Onto the photos!
New Pistons and block from Germany
The Cleaned Up Head
For Reference, here's the same head.
A good look at the assortment of parts that have been organized (this was a while back)
The infamous transmission
The Layout
One of the new pistons
The Cleaned Up Crank
The Old Block
The newly Jet Coated Euro Headers
A shot of the empty engine bay
A shot of the "New" now Old Rod Bearings that were done in the job that caused the failure.
You can already see wear on them on the far left side, unlike many that see wear in the bottom, which is where my old set saw wear. A little crazy.
I'll post some more updates and some videos as things progress into next week!
