Job # 1962 (MW) - 4.2 E Type Stage One engine rebuild

Back to Home

Assembling the short block, surfacing the cylinder head....

We are almost ready to assemble the short block...

Rods have been re-sized, re-bushed and balanced	Balancing the crankshaft
	Block is painted inside and out prior to assembly
Glyptal paint used inside block

The following sequence of photos show the head and block in process. The block is having its new top hat sleeves installed and the head is currently being ported. Interestingly, this particular head flowed better than almost any other unmodified head we have tested, particularly on the intake side. The cylinder head was warped about .0015" so had to be straightened before work on it could begin in earnest.
