Re: Finally starting the 68swb fleet

hahaha I'm too tall already, hit a snag today installed the pistons and now I can't turn it over to torque the rod caps, hoping it's something minor like the main caps are over torqued, went 80 and after checking my haynes it's 65, the rings are all in as outlined and slide in fairly easy, so this is all I can think, if not it'll get torn apart and re installed tomorrow, the cam is in, and cab got flipped onto its back to prep and por 15 the underside, we'll see tomorrow not getting too fired up about it, the 15lbs over torqued is most likely the issue, installed the perches and it's just aching for the motor and mock tranny
