Machining complete

Engine is back – I made some progress, and suffered one minor setback.

The freshly surfaced block is just beautiful, and I had a quick lesson on piston ring installation from the ever-helpful team at Phillip Heads. Thanks for the good work guys!

And that setback? Two of the piston cooling jets snapped when I over-torqued them during installation

I've got the pistons in the bores and all bolted up – test fit looks good. I'll need to pull the crank back out to fit new cooling jets (one location is obstructed) and to give the oil passages a final once over.
