18 | First, the engine was turned over by hand
until each pair of lifters was on the camshaft’s base
circle. Next, the pushrods and rockers were installed
and tightened to zero lash. From that point, each nut
was turned half a rotation to preload the hydraulic
lifters.


19 | A FiTech aluminum intake was lowered into place. The intake has cast-in bungs to support fuel
injectors, which were installed later as part of the FiTech Go Port fuel-injection system the engine will run.

20 | A Summit Racing SFI balancer is installed on
the snout of the crankshaft using an installer tool.
