Good. It just seems that you can hear the rings against the cylinder walls (yes I oiled them) pretty well, and when everything is mid-crank (all pistons same height), it seems to get hard to turn at that point. I'll get that last one in tonight then. I have to say, this is fun.
Also, what was the final torque specs on the caps? Manual says 20lbs/ft and then to 90lbs/ft. I threw out the boxes for the rods with all the papers yesterday (dumbass) so I don't know if they should be different. Was going for 90 and I can't because the stand keeps moving all over the place once I get past like 70lbs
Also you can see in the pic of my kitchen the turbo is all back together except for the compressor. Still going to get that polished/painted soon and won't bolt down until on the car. Also next to it is a 2.5" v-clamp that I got off eBay for pretty cheap. Would have been cheaper to make my own, but this one is all polished and looks nice.
On a side note... I've been at my apartment for over a year and my landlord has never been inside since I moved in. He said a couple months back that he would stop by one day to just make sure that everything is good and just give the place a once over. Well he called me Tuesday night asking if I he could come over because he was at my neighbors. I don't think he would mind too much with the motor being there since I'm not making a huge mess and cleaning it up, but the kitchen was TERRIBLE on Tuesday. That's why I cleaned up a lot and put everything in a home or a pile. Kinda funny that he wants to come over mid-project like that. Coincidence?
