Finally! the pistons are done!!

After waiting 4 weeks for the pistons to be made, after 2 weeks to extract and disassemble the engine, all of the pieces are here.

I will be getting all of them down to TR5252 tomorrow so they can begin to assemble my engine.

Just a little more waiting and it will be ready to put back in!

I pulled the engine with a major amount of help from Joe, a fellow forum member. We did it the hard way, out the top. We originally started with just a heads/cam project and ended up pulling (the rest of it) it out the next weekend.

The engine is being built by a local shop called TR5252 (torque * RPM * 5252 = HP :yesnod: )

I took the goodies down yesterday and they said it would be 2-3 weeks :cry before it's done.

Then Joe and I get to drop it back in :D
