I rebuilt the head already here

I had a lot of slop in the pistons so I decided to go ahead and do the rest.
Pulled the balence shafts and enlarged the oil pump pickup awhile ago.

Rod bearings look pretty good to me for 150k miles
Mains looks a little worse then the rods to me.
Cylinders still look pretty good. Can't really feel any ridge.
Pistons however don't look all that great. For now the plan is to go ahead and bore it out and put forged pistons in it. I haven't gotten the crank out yet since I don't have a puller for the timing gear. Already have a thread about that.
Your bearings looked great... All of them. Crank should need NOTHING done to it.
Out or curiosity, what was the compression reading before the Dis-assembly. Looks like worn pins to me allowing the slop.

I never thought to do a compression test.
Cleaned somethings up and did some painting. Wish I had thought to paint the head with aluminum engine paint like the a/c bracket and dist before I slapped the head back together. May still do something about that.
Just waiting for the forged pistons I ordered to show up from turbosunleashed.
The Wisecos, ARP rod bolts and head studs showed up today. Off to the machine shop on Monday.
Yep they finally finished it today. It looks so good I may just spray over it with clear.
Other then taking 3 weeks its looks like they did a pretty good job. Only thing they goofed up was plugging my oil and water line for my turbo but they are just screw in plugs so no big deal. Now I just need to get off my --- and put it back together over the weekend.
Looks good. What overbore did you go with?
I love new stuff, everything is so pretty and clean,

Used to be when I had a stack of new parts ready to go in the car, I didn't sleep till they were on it
I can't quite tell from the pics, were the rods 'resized' after the ARP's went in? It's essential with bolt replacement because they will be way out of round with new bolts.
2.2 Wiseco's are very quiet on start up so that's a plus. Don't know about their 2.5's. A bigger plus is that mine have survived a couple of tuning errors
I always use bottle brushes and pipe cleaners to rewash the block before assembly even though the shop already did it. Seems like inevitably there is some machining grit or carbon in one of the passages...

bores are .020 over and crank is .010 under. Yeah they resized the rods for me. Think tomorrow will be cleaning day and Sat and Sun will be assembly day.
Anybody know what the compression ratio is with the Wisecos? I never bothered to look it up
im interested in that as well
Call TU.
Paint, rear main, crank, and pistons are in. Crap keeps popping up and keeping me from being able to work on it as much as I though well that and my lazyness.
Finally have the bottem end together more or less. Should have been done a couple days ago but when I went to install the intermediate shaft and noticed the machine shop had borked my rear bearing when they installed it. Had to order new ones through Napa and just got it today.
Its pretty sad when the best looking part of your vehicle is the engine
Looks awesome, who ported the head?

if your not planning on keeping AC, i heard (its what im gonna do) you can take the pully, drill out the welds and pry off the AC part. and then you got less rotating mass.
just tryin to help out!
btw, it looks AWESOME, and i love the colour of the block, what is that hemi orange?
keep up the good work!
The port work is all me. All I did was smooth out the rough stuff so I hardly removed anything.
Its Ford red, aluminum paint, and low gloss black. My camera under the fluorescent lights just makes it look kind of orange. Afraid I am too much of a pansy to go without a/c anymore hehe.
Thanks.
