doind a rebuild with my friends

I rebuit one of my friends engine the other day and he went crazy taking pictures of what was being done. It was pretty cool because I was teaching how to do it and letting them do it and learn as we went. The engine was street ported all new seals, springs, gaskets and bearings. Didn't know where else to post this. We named this engine "the hornet" and you can see why in the pictures!!!! Enjoy

I'm the guy with no shirt and tattoo's in case youre wondering

The car the engine is going into


Taking all the stuff off the old engine.


Cleaning the parts



Assembling the rotors



Assembly of the engine

I dont know if its called timing the pump. but If you look at the inside of the pump there is a dot on the star inside of it and another dot on the oil pump housing you line them up and install it. let me know if you need more help.

Proper break-in mean check for leaks and start tuning.



Very nice work in only 2 days, that's impressive.
