The rod bolts are initially tightened by hand.
Next they are torqued down. Bolt stretch is measured with a micrometer to get the final tightness. This is repeated with the other three rods.
Our modified oil pump/balance shaft assembly is tightened into place. With the baffled Moroso oil pan and the oil whipped/heater gone, the oil will have a lot less entrapped air and will lubricate the engine bearings a lot better.
Our engine has made another big jump toward getting together. Stay tuned and witness the final assembly, which will also include a laundry list of bolt on upgrades. We have some neat parts from BorgWarner, AEM Electronics and others getting staged up for the install.
We so want to keep this engine and are totally envious of the lucky shop that’s gonna win it!

Cool to see you guys using the newer k24 blocks, wished you used the head too because I wanted to see what works. I’m building a k24z3 and saw that you cut off the balance shafts, by retaining the stock oil pump system means I can still use the bottom location oil filter correct?
