If it is not acceptible to post for these sites I will remove the links and start over here and any one with any advise please feel free to throw it out there this is the first motor rebuild I have ever done from the bare block up well aleast in a car/truck Harley's are a different story

all boards could use conversation... directing people elsewhere isnt helping change what you see as a problem!

bring the pics and info here, i'm sure we'd all love to see this thing take shape.

Well here's the latest progress that I have made on the rebuild mind you all this is just mock up for now until I get my one ring that broke then it's all going to be set up to run

Wow, that's pretty nice! Can't wait to see it installed.

Looks great!

It's amazing how narrow it looks out of the truck. Those headers really cut down the size compared to stock.

A little more progress today installed the last piston and rings then had to put on head shim (the block was decked .010) so I used some ultra copper rtv to hold it in place then put the head gasket on and head torqued the head to 62 ft.lbs stepping 20 ,40, then 62 ft lbs. and cut the metal shield off the header gasket for a tight fit to the head and lessen the chances of a exhaust leaks from the header. Here's some pic's of the progress next will be pulling the motor out of the 4runner and swapping the bolts to this motor and whatever else needs to go on it.

Got a little bit of overspray on that head, huh? Lookin good man, keep it coming!!

Yea had to do a touch up and got a bit of overspray but it will be gone soon enough.

Anyway here is today's progress report you got to take into account that I am

1. tearing down one motor in the truck and building this one from scratch but using the bolts and nuts from the other motor and

2. A first time motor builder here so I am getting full on the job training as I build this motor.

I do HARLEY's with no issue's so it not like I have no back round in mechanic's so don't get me wrong and think I have never touched a wrench before but this is a totally new venture here and mock up is a big deal with building a HARLEY to make sure everything fits and seats properly you build a HARLEY 3 times before putting it together lol.

So to anyone that thinks it's not in you to do this I say try it before you give up and let someone else do it for you , learning never is a bad thing may not get it done as fast as you want but get it done you will and have the pride of saying you did it yourself!

For the record I have no help from anyone and I am using boards like this to get all my info as I build this , the info is there you just have to search it out and I will be glad to share what I have learned and where to find the info if anyone is thinking about trying this.

Most torque values I am reverse torquing and then double checking printed materials to make sure the torque value I am using are indeed correct

A little update for today
Well I finally got the crank pulley off today so it was a good day and a chance to start to really assemble the front of the motor so I started by putting in the new ENGNBLDR timing chain kit with metal rail on drivers side and put the extra headbolt in place then ran into a small issue that I can not seem to find an answer for on the oil pump and here it is in the picture below you will see to black circles around two arrows one on each gear but I can not get them to line up to each other and find a point to line them up to on the housing. The arrows line up to either one before or one after each other but not in line with each other any ideas or suggestions on how they line up?

[img width=800 height=600]http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x275/fifty5panhead/22re%20rebuild/DSCN3744.jpg[/img]

OK well I just got done play'in some more could not let it be it was bothering me bad so I found out from TED at ENGNBLDR.COM (where the rebuild kit came from) that there is no way to line the arrows up so I went for it and got a few more things done tonight a little more painting and then replacing the missing parts so here is what I was doing until 4:30 am
