2/14/2010 Started Assembly of the Engine

Today I was able to get with my buddy to start assembling the engine.  We spent about 5 hours making sure all of our tolerances on the main bearings, connecting rod bearings, and rings.  All specs were well within tolerances.  We installed the cam first.  The cam bearings were installed by Kotzur Racing.  We also installed the crankshaft but will need to replace the main bearing bolts as we had one stretch during torquing.  We installed all the pistons.  Next session we will degree the cam and hopefully get the other main components installed.  I have some decisions to make on pulleys and fuel injection.
