I ran out of assembly lube in the middle of putting the engine together. SOB, all I had was a little package of the ARP lube....Checked all clearances and they were jam-up. CRANK ENDPLAY was around .005 so that's MUCH better than it was when I took the motor out...lol. Going to finish it here towards the end of the week or this w/e. Heads are on, just not bolted down, and I may trade my TFS stage 2 cam for a turbo specific cam that a buddy of mine just got in a shortblock....still up in the air about that one. Pics when I get some more batteries for the camera...
