Snap-On flat bar. (measuring warpage.. need to look at a couple of other heads while I have it).

I'll be checking other heads foe warpage while I have this.

Long story short ... have neighborhood politics that kinda limit what I'm doing for the very moment (weird situation) .... this motor was running fine with no knocks before , so I blew out the oil passages/flushed them then decided to assemble. I didn't want to knock anything loose or disturb anything... (engine was kept covered in between). Exception is cleaning up after hone as well.

Sealed Power main bearings.

rear crank seal lip is cut into the crank , but I decided to move the seal forward a bit (should be fine).

I despise the rear main cap rubber slider thingys/shims system.
