Notice in this picture, after swapping pistons and rods to get the least deck clearance variance, 2 pistons are on the wrong side. Unfortunately, the machine shop didn't set them up as full-floating pins and they can't be changed without risking piston damage. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> I was able to do another round of swapping and got everything within .001", so it's still good, but I'll be looking for a new machine shop.

The engine's ready to go in the bay - Brendan plans to come help with the install this weekend:

325cc/min @ 3bar injectors are on the way.... hope they're enough - should be good for 240HP+..... along with a new NPW fan clutch and a set of NGK plugs 2 ranges colder than OE... depending on what engine <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> The standard Montero plug is a heat range 5, the Diamante 10:1 CR is a heat range 6.... I ordered heat range 7.
