    image.jpeg image.jpeg Installing the crank last night and got the structures back on and mounted on the stand. Slow progress so far and to much going on. Haven't been working on it as early as I like. Yesterday I was waiting on parts and this morning my pickup broke down but it's getting there.

    I've always used lubriplate on them and head bolts. They are dry in the pic but that's what I used before I sucked them down.

    Not really an issue, but with you going with 5 he straight cut gears. You will have to get a pump for a 6nz or mbn.
