Yea youre right on that. Probably just have cutoff at 7500 and then shift at 7200 or maybe a tad higher.

I thought it already had a ZZP auto trans? If it doesn't then you'll want that first because if you build your motor your trans is going to leave you stranded vs building trans which just helps its reliability.

Well had all 4 pistons in and then forgot about the spiral locks for the wrist pins. Went to reinstall and broke a ring on a piston, it got pinched from the shitty compressor i was using.

So 3 are in and torqued and getting a new ring set tuesday.

that's shitty but think of it this way, it's better to have problems now than down the road.

Well I effed a head bolt so now im waiting on that. It didnt thread all the way and the nut screwed on the unthreaded part and lost its threading.

But the engine is timed, head is on, intake manifold on, and im finishing up the heat exchanger stuff and putting the bumper on.
