318 LA rebuild after losing a valve seat
Well, finally had some time to get some work done on the block. Chased the threads and cleaned it one last time before installing the mains and crank. Then moved on to the pistons. Would ya know it, I screwed up and bought the wrong rings. The Sealed Power H814CP pistons call for a 5/32” wiper, not a 3/16”.
As a first time builder, I really want to thank this forum and especially krazykuda for his build tutorial. Also Pete’s Garage on YouTube has been incredibly helpful. I’ll post updates as they happen.
