It's just too bad I won't have a before for reference. I figure they can't hurt anything ither than lowering the compression a tiny bit, which will probably be more than made up by the fact that the pistons are 1mm bigger and probably taller. Oh oh oh, my cranks done. Time for a trip...

Who did the grooving?  It doesn't look the same on both pistons.

Grooving, my bad as I did it. I doubt it is going to do that much, so I don't think a little difference will matter much. Coating by Pristine Powdercoating in Denver, $20 per piston. I put one piston in and measured protrusion, .8mm, so IT WILL WORK!!!, even the same size 2 notch gasket I had before.

I agree it will be interesting to be able to see the results.  I guess we'll have to wait a few years before transparent aluminum is developed :(

if they make glass that can withstand undersea pressures then they can make some for an engine.   :wink:  now building it is another story  :lol:

maybe some kind of small viewport?

Maybe a diamond engine, if they can ever make ones that big. Won't wear and an excellent conductor of heat. You could get it faceted to pimp it, so it's all sparkly when it runs. :lol:  :lol:

Today it was barely warm enough to be able to paint, since I have to do it outside. So I gave the block a nice coat of Detroit Diesel Alpine Green as it is the closest to the stock Rover engine color.

I decided to paint the valve cover green too rather than leaving it the stock black. Pulleys however get black.
Or go here for the whole project so far.

Jim, If you want, you can run your stock AAZ pump with a 10mm head if you have a 1996 and up AAZ pump for the proper came plate, that run better than just the stock AAZ pump, and PM me for the proper pressure regulator  to match the 10mm head on AAZ pump, you have one in your parts...  héhéhé!! just to know it is which  :wink:

That would be perfect to first run your engine, about 1000-1500miles, and later you will be able to make build a real M-pump.

Thanks for the info. I am unsure exactly what year it is. It was supposed to be a 1996 engine, but it has the older style connecting rods, so it's a 1995 or older. I am going to send my pump to Giles soon as I only want the car down one time, plus it is much easier to time with the engine out.
