scratched by dropping a spanner on it?
sounds like aussie export brand enamel shit

i scratched my shaved/deloomed engine bay once while working on it..
and that was when i dropped the engine in

the weight of an engine will scratch any paint, but as long as you are a little careful it's not an issue...

power distribution block to neaten things up a bit (and to get rid of the jungle of wires and relays i had sittin in the corner of the engine bay)

the crank all ballanced up. i got it ballanced with the harmonic ballancer, flywheel and clutch assembly also.......... the main and pin journals are now .25 undersized

the block, 30 thou over bore, new jack shaft bearings

forgies attached to rods....... didnt shot peen the rods, they used another process which i cant remember at this time.

couple of shots of the intake manifold

gtr 444cc injectors

port matched

my coilovers also arrived over the weekend, pics to come

so getting real close now, just need to get all the bearings and gaskets together, figure out the multi coil ignition and then get her tuned up
