OK... i want to put my engine together hopefully this weekend..... but what the ---- are you supposed to use to get the damn spiro locks on the wrist pins? is there like a special compressing plier type tool you can use... or is a machine shop gonna have to do it for me

Albert, I have no idea, but I think there is a special tool. If you need it done by tomarrow at noon we can take them over to my machine shop where they built my ----. That's if your going to BOTI tomarrow.

holy ----... that was right under my nose and i didnt even bother to look at it..... as you can tell im the kinda guy who builds ---- without instructions... then goes back to read the instructions to figure out why i ended up with spare bolts...

damn who would have known... i was shitting bricks cause i stretched one out almost getting it in...

well it looks like ill be finishing that bitch off tommorow.... and ordering a cometic head gasket... and maybe droping it in next weekend... to break it in in time for the next drag meet....
