Pistons and rods installed. Just waiting on a set of STDX King rod bearings to make some adjustments to my big end bearing clearances…. Unsurprisingly, the STD size bearings EPR used produced 0.0017” clearance not the 0.0035” quoted in the build sheet. Targetting 0.0025” for this build. Also reinstalled the @brettdempseyengineering oil tree. Oh and I will never use a ratchet piston ring compressor ever again, these ring compression sleeves are SOOOOO much easier to use!!

Can I run Vacuum lines...
...from the recirc - direct to the balance bar - rather than to the strange swan neck vacuum connector on the passenger side of the plenum?
The drivers side goes direct to the balance bar - so I assume the other side should be fine doing the same.
No EGR, no PRVR, no AIV, no Carbon canister - so I have nipples spare! :rofl:
