Assembled My Block This Weekend.
#21
Oh it was a goddamn show. Ray didnt show until 10:00 at night, I was ready at noon. Then the oil control ring seals were the wrong ones. So we boxed it all up and Ryan took it into the shop this morning to do there and bring it back later today. So well see.

Got it back today, Ryan assembled it for me under Rays supervision.
It all looks and sounds good. We put alot of the **** back on it. I took pics but I left my camera over at dads house.
I should be up and running next weekend.
Any body ever use blue RTV instead of gray?
I used blue because I counldn't find any gray at the store.
Also I forgot to get the gasket for the thermostat so I just used the RTV, that should be fine Im assuming. If it leaks then i'll fix it.

The gasket for the thermostat is actually an o-ring.
