Got home today to find the last pieces to my engine build waiting on me at the back door. I had just enough time to open them up, snap a couple pictures as I sat in traffic, and get them off to get coated.

No sir, especially not in the "all motor" section. It is now a high compression S50. I got the engine reinstalled yesterday and fired it up long enough to check for leaks, problems, and let it burp and sputter until a smooth idle. Hopefully I will have enough time tomorrow to bleed the clutch, hook the drive shaft back up, and take care of a few other minor issues. Then it will be time to finally break the engine in.
