I made it a lil easier to read, at least for me, anyways!
1. take notes/pictures during dis.assy....it helps.
2. clean/mag/inspect/pressure check if in doubt.
3.remove all oil gallery plugs and freeze plugs.
4. stamp/mark all parts.
5. pre.assy. is a must to check all oil clearances/contact points,before final assy..
6. check cam fit/degree cam..a must.
7. check valve/piston clearances,always....especially w/big cams/big pistons.
8. precise measuring tools will be needed.
9. be careful w/parts that may be damaged during shipping..ex. bent cams, etc.
10. this is just basic stuff.... there is a wealth of combinations for parts,and opinions out there.. these are just my thoughts to try and assist you guys/gals. remember a well built engine is no different than any other consumer product....you get what you pay for.
11. always, pre-lube engine prior to installing.
in closing, i support other engine builders out there and welcome their comments...as well as anyone elses. .... if you need further asst. call me at (714) 879-9671..... free consultation.
