How goes the rebuild, Fabsky?

Hi everyone,
I haven't posted in a while because there was nothing to talk about.
Generally, I did not sleep and worked on the project such as searching for parts and ordering them, work related to cleaning engine components that will not be replaced, etc..
As a result, several packages from Europe, USA and AU have arrived, and there are quite a few.
Now to the point..
The engine block went to the machine shop for a treatment (details will be revealed as soon as I receive the block from the workshop), in addition, I decided that I will also entrust the heads to professionals for comprehensive service (checking the plane / possible machining, checking the valve faces and valve guides, replacing valve stem seals etc. In addition, the connecting rods were also inspected for the fault that affected the engine.
I am full of hope that this week I will be able to collect everything from the workshop. I also gave all the injectors on the machine for testing. The turbochargers showed very little play on the rotor, so they were only well cleaned.

Fabian, this is great news, happy to hear its progressing well.

I'm really interested in hearing what was done to the short block and who did it.

So once you have everything back you will assemble the short block, heads and ancillaries yourself?

Are you re-using the conrods from the front 2 cylinders after that section of the crankshaft was unsupported at 1 end? The pistons could also have been damaged.

Hi everyone ☺️

The stuff is already in the Fabsky’s garage 🪚🪓🪜⚖️🧯 Tomorrow we're going to wash and measure 😎

That's right, I leave only machining to trusted and proven specialists. All the rest in my hands .. with the rest as always ☺️

After a short break, I'm back to the project. And that's it in short..☺️
