As we mentioned before, the engine is going to have Egge components for the internals of the block. Here we're installing the Egge cam bearings onto the machined engine block and getting the connecting rods balanced to keep the vibration down to a minimum once the engine is complete. Using a socket close to the size of the freeze plug ID being installed will help the plug to go in straight and prevent leaks.Using a socket close to the size of the freeze plug ID being installed will help the plug A few of the parts were bead blasted to remove any surface rust that might have been left after being heat pressure washed.A few of the parts were bead blasted to remove any surface rust that might have been left Edson had to check the engine block before installing each bearing.

The bolts received a quick bead blasting and also a cleaning. The connecting rods were all honed out individually. Each rod was weighed until the desired weight was reached. Edson prepared the engine to put it on an engine stand. Edson grinded, or re-surfaced, the crank to remove any burs or debris that it might have. The connecting rod tops were all resurfaced. As the rods are getting honed out they need to be measured to keep them as close as they need to be to each other.As the rods are getting honed out they need to be measured to keep them as close as they n The engine was ready to have all of the internal pieces bolted on.
