Building up the bottom end was delayed as we decided to have bushes installed into the small ends of the con rods. This aids oil flow and should hopefully prevent premature wear and overheating.
The bottom end was built up on Saturday but took longer than expected due to the spring clips being awkward bastards! Eventually the pistons were attached to their rods and the crank was installed followed by the pistons and rods. Plenty of oil was used in the bores and the bearings to hopefully prevent any premature wear when it comes to starting the engine first time.
All that is left to complete the bottom end is to attach the oil and water pumps to the block.
For now here's a couple of images of the assembly for you :)
