Building a 650 hp Naturally Aspirated Drift Spec LS3 Part 2

The pistons were lowered into place.

With everything right, the piston can easily be pushed into the bore by hand.  No tapping needed.

When the piston is down in the bore, you can see the really good cylinder wall finish.

The rod caps are tightened down by hand.

The rods are torqued down to their recommended torque then tighter further to their stretch spec. It is important to use stretch to measure correct rod bolt torque as not preloading rod bolts enough can read to there failure due to high cycle fatigue.

The AFR cylinder heads are assembled next. We had WPC treated the valves, valve springs and retainers for longer fatigue life and less friction.
