[Shaun @ Tru6]

Two whole months have gone by and this the first time I've been able to get back onto the motor. But with the block assembled and the crank spinning like butter, smooth as silk, I feel like I've got some wind in my sails to move forward with a little more urgency.

Girdle fit on easily with no drama. Torque stages were fun, definitely a good idea to have a friend who is the brain pointing to each nut along the way and you are just a robot getting them all done.

New plastic threaded nuts were used, reused the washers.
