PM, thanks for sharing. It appears you and I are going down similar paths. I'm using a hardly been run LNF that I picked up complete with everything. Paint wasn't wore off the rings yet.
Carrillo's, Check
Wisco's, Check
Studs for head and mains, check
Really like your idea for the water pump - balance shaft elimination I will be going down a different path on that one. Will show that when I get that stage built and done.
Balancing of the crank, FW, pressure Plate vibration damper is done. Factory was real close.
Pistons and cylinder head and a number of other items are currently at the coater.
Ceramic coating for the head of the pistons, chamber, heads of valves, backside of exhaust valve and exhaust port.
I'm going with a 5th injector setup for the additional fuel needed.
I will post pictures when I start assembly. We are very busy at work, that comes first. Have to make the money in order to spend it.

I have a question about the chain guid bolt at the top where you pull the plug in the head to take bolt out. Are we better just going with the ARP bolt, or use the repair bolt that is made to fix the broken bolt syndrome? The later seems like it would be stronger. What's your guy's thoughts on this?
