Cutting open the box for the first time. That loose part is my rear main seal housing. They cleaned that up as well.

At this point I prepared my air compressor, coffee filters (which still leaves lint behind by the way so be careful) and brake cleaner.

I opted for the pre-installed front oil pump housing option and balanced shaft delete. Oil passages were taped off to keep contaminants out.

Money Shot. The block surface and all bores have a mirror like finish. A thin layer of oil keeps everything safe from corrosion. Bare blocks like this should always be covered when not working on them.

Valve reliefs of the Wiseco HD 1400 piston. I believe the dot on each pistons represents timing side placement?

The right billet crank for the job. You can see here where MAP has balanced crank portion of the rotating assembly.

Just in case people were curious about the crank and oil baffle clearance. We have plenty, even in a 2.3

Secured the oil pan following the RTV instruction on the tube. I used STM's oil pan allen bolts for a clean look. My old oil pan bolts look like crap.

After bolting on the oil filter housing, I used a breaker bar to take off the two oil plugs on each side to replace with oil fittings. The right sized allen socket and breaker bar gets these loose without any heat. This is done so I can have an oil source for my oil pressure gauge and one for my turbo. One of these is post filter for the turbo. I also installed a new oil pressure sending unit. I used high temp thread sealant on everything instead of yellow teflon tape.

Finally, I installed the water pipe assembly, oil dip stick, and alternator before wrapping the block in shrink wrap and calling it a day.
