The engine is starting to come along now.. Industrial Spec bolts instead of automotive for a bomb proof look haha.

2 things:
Why is your motor back to front? Mirror?
How are you retaining the torrington bearings?

Re: 1985 GSL-SE LeMans car based Racecar
My laptop takes mirror images for some reason, and I am not retaining them, I am disassembling the entire engine and buying new apex seals, bearings, timing chain, and pretty much everything necessary to withstand two 88mm turbos without damage. Only thing holding me back right now is trying to locate a 54mm socket so I can crack the motor open properly. Cant find a socket that big where I am at although.

I got worried cos I thought you were putting it together without a front nut on it.
A 55mm socket is half the price and works just the same.
That motor just looks weird in reverse
