Wow that block is clean! I want

swain and calico coating are worth every penny. Looking good Dom

Got some more for "MI Gente" (its pronounced "Me- HEN-TAY"/My People) Might as well teach you some spanish while we Here.

The Build
First and for most





Added the DE 8cw Crank and DE Girdle to help hold the Bottom end together.


This is my Staff "Quality control,Project manager and Security"..

Are those the off the shelf ARP head bolts? If they are, sell them and get the mazworx since your going big power. Those regular ones tend to lift at high boost because they do not fully bottom out in the block.

They Absolutely are Mazworx Man..Thanks for pointing it out..(Edited first Post)

Pistons,rings and VET HG
Oil rings=top ,middle,bottom all go together like a Burger






The middle ring (oil scraper) has a lip you can only see from the bottom..


Top Ring in and all done..



Peanut Butter Pistons are in, VET Head Gasket On..........:numbness:

Head cleaned and lightly ported ready to get bolted on




VE Oil pan gets tabs shaved to fit the DE Girdle.
