Short Block Re-assembly

Process

1. Lubricate all bearing caps to prevent excessive damage on first start up. 
2. Place Crankshaft back into place on block and re-screw bolts to 50% of there torque specifications. With main end bearings in place make sure that correct main bearing caps are on correct bearing on crankshaft if not crankshaft will not rotate.
3. Re-attach water pump and oil pump make sure that alignment marks on oil pump gear and pump its self are aligned correctly with each other so that pump is working at correct time during operation. 
4. Return each piston to there correct cylinders via labelling on con-rod so that pistons are fitting into the correct bore and compression isn't lost or further damage is caused to bore. Pistons will need taping into place while they are held closed by ring compression tool.
5. Tighten end caps of con-rods to correct torque specifications and check amount of oil clearance there is in between bearing cap and crankshaft end bearing, using plasti-gauge. Make sure alignment is correct and crankshaft still turns freely.
6. Bolt on sump to bottom of crankcase.
