Not much but heres a few updates, This week i should be collecting most of the parts that are still needed, and start assembly. Ive changed my origional plans and decided to stick with the ct26 for a little longer. But i did get my hands on a hx35 for when i decide to go bigger. Upgraded to diffrent rims and i cant wait to get them mounted. Relocated the oil cooler. Going with a large FMIC and custom IC pipes. ill update with pics as soon as i get them uploaded

Already ordered: Clevite bearings, wiseco piston rings, and a DDP
left to order: MHG, and gasket set, misc. shit

Well today ive finshed ordering up my parts, or i hope so. I got a 2mm titan MHG, ARP main studs, and a gasket kit. Ive also sent the block back off to the machine shop to have the timing cover milled. Hopefully this time ill have it all right and ill be making good power for along time. I will update with pics when i get my camera back.

A+ for having the block prep done right the first time for the MHG you have.
Thanks gets to expensive not doing them right and having to redo them.

Finally time for updates, I just went out and bought a camera today so time for pics!

So far ive ran into a bolt breaking off in the block, and the front crank seal has a small defect in it.

Heres were I have been assembling the bottom end.
