Yeah great people and members here. She will be a beauty when she is finished.
 
We are taking our time because of the heat,110* today. So we got the freeze plugs, got the crank in and used plasti gauge to check tolerances and torque down. Put the rings on all the pistons,chased all the threads, They didn't let me do much,Karl, Asa, my middle son did most of all the work.

Man Cliff that's hot, only 58* here and cloudy. I think we have only had one or two days that it has gotten into the 80's so far.
Sounds like you have a pretty good pit crew working with you.

We got all 8 pistons in without problems which was great. We did not know what was about to happen.

Karl had a dye to break apart while cleaning bolts, so we had to go find a replacement. 2 hours of driving around to find one. So while we were gone Asa cleaned up some surface rust on the heads with a wire wheel.

Here is when the first problem we ran into thanks to a machine shop because they wanted to take a short cut. Luckily Karl had a Mancini freeze plug kit which included the correct pipe plug. Once we got this taken care of (proper threaded allen head plug) we got the oil pump drive in.
Side note that plug was a bushing that the machine shop put in.
