I spent a few hours this last Saturday prepping the last of the major components for the engine rebuild. My brother-in-law and I cleaned off all the old gaskets and sealant from all parts, and chased all the bolts with dies to clean up the threads that had been rounded off/stretched. This all took a surprising amount of time.

The block is getting the finishing touches at the machine shop this week, and the crankshaft should be done with balance as well. Then it's just waiting for the water jacket and the new oil filter and we have everything we need.

The crankcase and oil pain are going to get sent through a large parts washer to clean out the metal shavings.

Here's the underside of the crankcase with most everything in place.

And if you have 10 minutes to kill, here's a time-lapse video of the whole process. I'm the guy in the light gray shirt.
