Update...........
after looooong time in hybernation and some engine problems the time has come for me to proceed! I new i was having an oil leak when i first bought the engine and first run it but this doesnt bother me to join drives and adding oil.....but.....in the truck the mistakes were payed and payed heavily. After of 15 minutes pushing the bugaru hard in the corners i've heard a noice tickling from inside the engine deck  I check the oil and found that more than one ltr missing  A raf estimation was that one of the set of bearings inside the connecting rod was scratched but the engine must be open first! I stop over and took the car back to home until i get ready for rebuilding and here we are.. The problem is concerning the bearing inside the connecting rod and nothing more  , so we choose to change some of the engine component parts and rebuild it such as:New oil pump New set of bearings New gaskets kit New piston rings and more... Expected to be ready by the end of the month here are some photos in random              more to come in next days

Today we got back the block & crankshaft from the machine shop and still waiting for the heads.
Block needs to be cleaned and painted and then will be ready for assembly again.    Meanwhile it was a great opportunity for painting the engine bay. All the "unessecary" sheet metal were trimmed and after sandpaper the hole surface it was ready for applying the primer and then painting to metallic blue.. before..    after..  Next in order the intake manifold take new shape in colour!! before..  after..    Wish everyone Merry Christmas!!! Last edited by Jim; December 22nd 2009 at 15:47.
