got me worried now chip i have only done the assembly of my engine (built a few zetecs before with no probs)

i gave the block, pistons, rods and crank to the machine shop, so i hope they done all the neccessary measurements as then specced the bearings and bored the block!

i decided to go 0.5mm oversize on the pistons, so the block had to be bored to suit. the machine shop measured and numbered the pistons to go in the appropriately bored cylinder







and then the block was honed so the piston rings will bed in



they also polished the crank



and got the bearings, heavy duty big ends (left), and std mains (right)




didnt take too many pics of the build unfortunatly

pistons on rods



bearings and crank installed - the black stuff is graphogen grease



pistons and rods installed





head gasket, oil pump gasket and bolts etc



siemans 680cc injectors



piper cam kit



ported/polished and big valve head



head on



thats all the pics i have at the mo uploaded, ill try and find the ones of the cam kit installed, and the timing belt and pums etc on, but will take a while to find.
