Progress:
The block is back from KSD bored to 99.75mm:


I wasted no time checking clearances and getting it bolted together


Gaping rings suuuucks, glad that's over






The last bolt stripped on the block while using a torque wrench, solution was to grab a longer bolt and thread a nut on the back, also got the plug for the block heater out. It's not necessary to start the car in the winter, but I want the car to be warmer faster.



Oil pan was rusty on the outside, cleaned that up and put two coats of 1500° paint and got it installed.


the oil cooler was stupid dirty, cleaned and reinstalled
