43 days since my last post.

But I have this.........

2.7L 70.4mm crank.
Magnafluxed, checked for straightness, balanced , and got the center oiling modification so it doesn’t only oil only from the ends…It was also re-nitrided then micro polished.

Thank you Doug.

Nice! Still waiting on heads?

I am but they are supposed to ship on Friday. "Supposed" being the operative word.

I now have everything needed to start the assembly. I have since convinced myself that I might as well pay someone very experienced to do it. Why? As an experienced engineer I realize how good I am with what I do. I concede the things I am not good at..... Parts cost is right now at almost $35K. There are still a few items to obtain.

Ed Mayo has offered to assemble the motor. The opportunity to have something like this happen are rare. The guy is a Porsche ICON. In the future I'll be able to say Ed Mayo built this motor.

He should get started any day. I'll post photos.

Awesome.
Looking forward to the next updates!
Hope you're well!

Thank you Chris.... just know I am following along on Insta and checking your forum thread about every other day. Love the wheel choice.

That's incredible! Definitely lucky to have him wrenching on it.

A milestone event for me. About 1 year and a few days in the making.

They should come one after another, now!

Case is sealed. 1 year and 3 weeks after the motor was dropped.
