I pulled the trans this morning, removed one of the old bolts and then installed one of the new shouldered bolts by hand. It lined up perfectly so I did a good job at centering the dowels. I then pulled the flywheel and installed all of them by hand just to make sure none had an issue and they all went in fine.





Since they all lined up perfectly I spent the rest of the day pulling the engine. I got it pulled and striped down to the short block. Tomorrow I'll call Eric at CHP and let him know. I need to check with him and see if they need me to take the pistons off the rods or if I can leave them on. I'm hoping they don't need to come off but I don't know. Tomorrow night I'll finish disassembling it and then take everything down to them. I'm going to weigh everything before I do and take pictures. I'm also going to check the size and depth of the holes that are already drilled in the crank so I know if they remove any material.

Dropped everything off today. They are going to call me when it's done.

What are they going to do about your outted costs?

They said that if the balance is off that they will supply me everything to reassemble the engine. I weighed all the pistons and rods and 6 were 1081g, 1 was 1082g and 1 was 1080g. I also took pictures and measured all the holes that were already drilled in the crank so that I know if they modify it. Eric said that if it's off they'll fix it and if it's not they will show me that it's not when I come back to pick it up.

So. updates?

I haven't heard back yet. I'm going to call Eric this morning.

Did your buddy make the video?

Yeah, I thought I posted it?

Where did you post it? It's not in your build thread.

I just got off the phone with Eric and he said their balancing guy has been out and is just back today. Yeah, I believe that. :laugh: He said that he is checking it now and will give me a call in about an hour.

and the verdict....:popcorn:
