Ok, smart guys, how do you torque the lower rocker boxes, particularly the rear, back down? I could barely get my socket in there to get it loose. A torque wrench isn't gonna fit.

BTW, Redbeard, I'm not trying to hijack this thread, just kind of adding to. Hope you don't mind.
About an hour in.

Flange bolts were tight as hell.

Combustion chamber. Some soot and carbon buildup. I don't think too bad.

Pistons don't look too bad either.

Cylinders are real nice as well.
My pin keeper install tool I made at work yesterday.
Worked slicker than oil on a ice cube.

Pistons on the rods.

No major disasters or surprises so far!

I think you might be ok using a crow foot wrench.

I've attached an image for you to see.

I don't mind at all. The more the merrier.

Btw, can you send me some details on that wrist pin ring installer?

Or, if you're all done with it, could I possibly buy/borrow it?

Looks good so far. I can't wait to get new motor parts!!!
