all my piston ring tools :D - not so sure im happy with my decision on the piston ring clamp but i guess ill have to try it 

 

This has been my fave.....Craftsman.

 

[Eagle_Adam]

ya...... i might have to buckle and buy another. the more you tube vids i watch of bottom end assembly, the less i like the one i have.....  

 

i have a buddy coming by thats a nissan master tech, hes gunna oversee my work on assembly 

[nismo dr]

and bring his ring compressor lol

[heretic]

it's all easy shit man.

 

slow & steady wins the race.

 

& cleanliness IS another key, I mean eat off of it clean. I like my final washing with simple green, because it works great & doesn't harm aluminum.

 

I have no doubt you'll be fine.

 

gotta admit, im a bit nervous, this is my first time doing rings and bearings myself. Ive watched a dozen or so youtube vids of how its done in prep but execution has me with butterfly's in my gut   

[Eagle_Adam]

and bring his ring compressor lol

 

awwwww..... you no like mine? 

[Cpl620]

[jrock4224]

This has been my fave.....Craftsman.

 

lol that's my fave style too not sure what brand mine is its been handed down 2 generations but still works great

[Eagle_Adam]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was a long night, and apparently I was more worried about the details than Nismo dr was but we got it done!

 

Now I'm off to go see a man about some powder

[]2eDeYe]

do you know where to buy the inserts redeye? 

 

 

Sorry man, was out of town with no ratsun.... I think everyone covered it though :)

[Eagle_Adam]

Yup :)

 

I bought another steering box arm off of Taadj and picked up a new idler arm and center link from rock auto so I'm just trying find a local show to weld em up and re-taper without trying rape me on the price -.-

[Eagle_Adam]

Finally cleaned off the freeze plugs :). I coated them in grease before paint so they would look fresh. I've always been fond of the contrast

 

 

 

I happy with how it's come out so far :)

 

 

Next step? Power coating!!!

 

So off to jrock's shop!

 

 

I dropped off the water pump pulley, crank pulley, oil pan, both timing covers, and a set of grill trim rings

 

 

Nice sunset on the way back

 

Made it home and popped my dads mustang on stands to check out the brakes........

 

Hmmmm

 

It needs pads n rotors... But before I can do that I have to replace the hard lines PO took vice grips too :/

One reservoir resembles chocolate milk, the other is low with the strangest feeling brake fluid I've seen. So it will get new rotors, pads, wheel bearings, a full flush, the rear drums cleaned and adjusted .
