Record holder Wicked GN has been contracked as advisor to supervise the repair of Ray Flechers race car. Nordy racer is also on the pay role as assistant parts cleaner. While the pair do all the work ,Wicked will take all the credit fr anything that may go right & shift blame & use his excellent hind site to whatever may not. I wish this dynamic team the best. Meanwhile we all await the big showdown between wicked & underboost. Both are thrashing day & night preparing for the big event.This may turn out to a bigger splash than Saddam's execution. So stay tuned.

That was so funny, Scott. Happy holidays to you & your family.
Nothing wrong with friends helping friends save a little money, and I really doubt we be putting in the RJC HG the wrong way too

Wicked having his way with Ray's block behind his back ....
....
a couple of bad bearings....
Crank looked OK....
new head gaskets..
Ok....Who's next to get their motor pulled?
Thrust Bearing = 1, SYTECH = 0........What A Day
Big Props to Mike & Kevin for helping out with the engine pull / breakdown, cleanup, and buildup
Not a bad days work for only 5 hours time (11:00 am till 4:00 pm)
Cylinder walls were fine, piston tops were fine, no broken rings, all the rod bearings looked ok when pulled apart (typical wear), front and rear mains were ok, center billet mains were a different story and the thrust bearing was shot. No damage to the Eagle Steel Crank that light polishing didn't fix.
We cleaned everything top to bottom, installed a new set of rod & main bearings, torqued to spec, re-installed the ARP head Studs, installed a new set of SCE Titan Copper Head Gaskets, put on the "freshly rebuilt" GN1 heads with new Comp Cam 135 lb double valve springs, cleaned & lubed the roller lifters, stage torqued the heads from 55 ft lbs up to 85 ft lbs, and called it a day
Tomorrow I will re-torque the heads, install the roller rockers, double check the lifter preload, throw in some oil and prime the motor, and get it ready to slide back in
Hopefully (if time permits) I will be back on the street before the weekend
Again, thanks to Mike, Kevin, Brent, Lou and everyone else that offered their time, assistance, advice, and comments
I was fully prepared to attempt this on my own, but it was really alot easier with 3 or more sets of eyes, hands, and multiple years of experience on hand to help matters out
Later,
Ray

Hope it works out for you. Did you say that you pulled the pistons to inspect the rings? If so did you put the same rings back in?
