Today I removed the rockers, camshafts, heads and rods. Time to clean and then package the important stuff and ship to a good machine shop for some work!

By the looks of it those rod bearing shells needs to be replaced along with the crank shells. Make sure you get some and have them WPC treated along with all your other internals.

The build is currently on hold, heads are being rebuilt by G2Performance, rods by Rennsport and cams reground by John Dougherty. Hope to get all parts in in a month or so to start re-assembling.

Here is my custom harness built by a good friend. Top notch quality, will be plug and play for my new EFI setup and MSD. Heat shrunk and wrapped in fiberglass sheathing.
