Mounting the engine

The most of the work the last month has been regarding to the engine. The first item that I mounted was; the crankshaft and mounted the main bearings. It felt ok when I draw the crankshaft around a couple of times. At the 0,030 oversize pistons Imounted the piston rings . There where 2 of the oil rings. The lower one I was forced to file to make the right end play which I choose to 0,40mm .Which ended up with that I filed and fitted each piston in each cylinder. When measuring the fittings of the piston pins I also grinded the holes to correct alignment. Even the connecting rod bushings was some needed to be refitted. The piston and main bearings mounting ended with securing it withcotter pins and wire . The distributor was undertaken a complete dismantling and cleaning all parts.Painting anddistributorremounting the most of the parts left to be done is mount it on the engine the adjust and synchronize the breakers.
Flywheel and the clutch faces where machined.
The fan drive pulley was machined ,cleaned and ready to be installed on the engine.
I had a talk to the shop that is doing the chroming to the lamps, bumper and the radiator shell. He had not been doing any work -yet.
