Did they paint the combustion chambers too? For Some reason, the shop that rebuild my cylinder head did, but it burned off pretty damn quickly.

Nice project, looks like fun.

Nope that stuff was taped off :)

Picked up the bottom end yesterday...looks oh so pretty.

Need to get some high temp paint (VHT) and start taping it up.

I brought the block home so I will get the chance to work on it daily!!!

I'll try to post up some pics tonight :)

pricing is pretty good :)

i was going to get wiseco pistons but didn't like the idea of proprietary rings.

Hehe feels kind of cool to be the director!

I need to buy some brake cleaner to clean the crank up...

Going to install crankshaft bearings and will hopefully drop the crank in as well, I'm waiting for my friend to bring over his piston ring compressor so that I can drop in the pistons!

[dude8383]

M52 Crank is in :)

[So Live]

SICK!!!!! Alpine, thanks for that

[dude8383]

Picked up some S50 cams yesterday :)

No progress yet, I kinda sort fucked up...I haven't been using assembly lube so I'm tearing it down.

Luckily I have only just dropped in the crank, I have new main bolts coming as well :)
