This motor was not happy :( The previous owner was mean to it .060 over bore . 1 sleeve in #6 hole and # 7 looks like it ingested a spark plug electrode. I spent a little more time on this one making sure this one went together alittle better. :drink:

One thing i might do next time is tighten up the ring gap just a little.A few people said I set it to loose .being at .030 and .025 .I am just use to running the NOS motors and have butted rings before .O figured that 2-3 thou wouldn't hurt?

A few picks of the heads

Re: Hustler 500efi engine tear down & Build Up
 

Before I put the short block and the heads together I mocked it up to see if the intake lined up to the ports and the china rail was off , Remember the block had be cut to much :( . I used valve spring shims to get an idear on how much to cut the intake .It was around .070 something that needed cutting . I ended up cutting it twice just to get it as closes as I could as to not to go to far :rolleyes: . The roof and floors were real close to alinging up . the rest I had to blend in .The angle on the intake face was out about .007. I figure the gasket would compres some and after cutting the china rail I got enough for a good bead for it . That all came together real good :D

Also The Whipple intake has a few burs from the factory machining and taped holes that could of flaked off into the motor. So if ya are doing a stock straight bolt on Whipple set up ,look at it . There was some ridges in there that I dressed up, abd radiused all I could . prob a waste of time ?

After bolting it all up I blended all the ports on the intake to the heads .I trimed the gaskets at the same time also. Made it all smooth. I #ed each piece even the gaskets so they would all line up on final assembly.

heres a few more picks :D
