Pistons are off and rods are ready to be checked.

After this deal, I'll be drinking for sure.

Decided to get the tires mounted earlier this week. Cut the shock mount and got a thin nut for clearance with the rim, hard to see but now we have clearance. Rears are on for good, front is on to check backspace and they're way better than the old ones (I'll add both pics to see the difference in backspace). Now we have to swap the new front studs in and bolt the fronts on for good.

Before: too far out.

After: nicely tucked.

How's the motor coming?

BTW, isn't it amazing that, with all the technology in this world, we have to buy tires that seem to have their lettering painted by a 2nd grade class? (Apologies to 2nd grade classes.)

Todd,
Did I see a bleeder screw on the bottom of the caliper?

Yes Keith, for whatever reason, they have bleeders top and bottom.

Engine is coming along with the obvious BS setbacks... Like the bearings that come loose in a box totally destroyed. Funny I didn't even notice the lettering lol.
