update - 27-3-2010 bottom end assembly ![Big Grin](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
evening all been a busy weekend but made a good leap on the car build
i think k had noticed ive been a bit up n down with the project of late , and with that a prompt call was made to me saying " get ya ass up , we building ya engine up "![Wink](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
so with that said , it was up and a bit of parts collecting later 99% of the bottom end assembly was plonked on k's lap

freshly ground crank
![](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv218/beefcos/26032011455.jpg)

along with gaskets , seals ,bearings . re bushed rods ect ect ect
![](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv218/beefcos/26032011457.jpg)
so with that sorted the block was degreased and cleaned ready to install the crankshaft
![](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv218/beefcos/26032011458.jpg)

![](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv218/beefcos/26032011463.jpg)
![](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv218/beefcos/26032011464.jpg)
crank was then torqued down
![](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv218/beefcos/26032011466.jpg)
rear seals installed
![](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv218/beefcos/26032011467.jpg)
brand new oil pump and and pic up / spray bar installed
![](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv218/beefcos/26032011468.jpg)
then i got on fitting the new rings to the pistons , big thanks to jimbo/scs for the valve cutouts![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)
![](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv218/beefcos/26032011469.jpg)

all done
![](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv218/beefcos/26032011474.jpg)
now it was at this point around 7 pm last night that i noticed the circlips from one side of each piston were missing , " no worries i know where they are " revealed i didnt pmsl![Wall](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/wall.gif)
so , that stopped play on piston - rod - block installation ...
but .... still had things to be getting on with so the and plates , engine arms , aux pulley ect were cleaned and prepped for painting![Clap](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/9c-clap.gif)
![](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv218/beefcos/26032011475.jpg)

![](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv218/beefcos/26032011478.jpg)
so i made a brew whilst spesh laid down some 2k silver ( same as what head and sump are painted in )
. and whilst making a brew a distress call was answerd in the form of lawnsy , who said he had some spare circlips i could have , just cost me delivering 3 parmos
LIVING PROOF THAT PARMO POWER RULES !!!!
so garage was shut up and a run to see lawnsy around 9:30 pm got me some circlips
which brings us to this morning![](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/roi.gif)
walked into the garage to see some freslhy dried painted parts
