Ummmmmm, no...

[wheeliE-maxx]

Atleast six nitro r/c engines I'm looking to eventually get a spare block and build it up or a cheap crate to throw in and build my current motor up. Either way so I don't have any down time, or be stuck if I screw up the rebuild. A small block's one of the easiest ways to start right?
I also have to rebuild my '05 CRF-250r for the first time soon. It's puffing smoke when cold now. Going from the 12.9:1 stocker to a JE 14.5:1

All by myself -- an '81 Chrysler 2.2 was my first foray into engine building. Everything else has been done with assistance from friends: 2 - 350 SBCs, and a '66 Buick 340 completed so far. I have a '70 Olds 350 W-31 in pieces that will be heading to BTR's in Rochester sometime soon for machining.

what was your favorite part (besides crossing your fingers and turning the key)?!? mine was putting the pistons in... kinda like a virgin...

[pajeff02]

I like all the measuring... checking for out of round, taper and all that stuff.

Hearing it bark a couple of times just before it starts to run.. I always fire up the first time with open exhaust. Kinda reminds me of a baby being born. First they sorta choke and cough then the nurse fools around with their intake then...Scream!

I guess that was my favorite part too and i also enjoyed torking everything down and putting in the cam

I've only done one. The little 305 on my Formula, which is now more like a 309? with .30 over not that it counts cause its still a baby 305

Only 2 in my life

Pssshhh! I only do that when I blue print an engine.

Otherwise it's drop the crank in and spin. If it turns then on to the the pistons/rods.

BTW, this applies only to freshly machined parts. If I'm doing a re-ring and/or re-bearing (no machining) then, ya, you gotta measure to insure it's ok to use.

Very nice!! Can't wait to sound like that I'm being patient, I have a few things in mind for my car that will take some time to achieve.
