What sort of compressor do you use? I bought a Craftsman one and it was a piece of shit. Broke after 6 pistons. Next time I'm going to buy a solid one from Jegs for the correct size.

I have a Craftman one too. Mine slips a little sometimes but I've learned to work with it.

Alright, I've been slacking on this a bit... got a little busy with school.

So I think tomorrow I'm going to pick up the block from the shop - it's already been bored and honed, I'm hoping he's also already installed the cam bearings and freeze plugs.

I'll start assembling it this weekend, but I still have to buy some more parts so it might still be a little while before it's done.

in the meantime here are the pictures I was supposed to post 2 and a half months ago...









there was just a bit of grime on the engine... just a bit... but it's all fresh and clean now. Can't wait to drive the car again!

Didn't pick up the block today - have to have the hone redone to .005" I initially had him do it at .003" but probe recommends more clearance for forced induction... I guess I'm going to pick it up next week now.

That sucks, but I definitely think it's the right decision in the long run.
