A quick update for tonight - all 4 pistons/connecting rods are now
installed. After mis-reading the markings on the connecting rods and the
rod bearing caps, I had all 4 caps installed wrong. Once that was
corrected, everything turned over nicely.
I found the camera, so tomorrow you can see pics of the home-made
valve spring compressor that I will be using for the cylinder head
that will be going on top of the ABA block. It should work well, I think.
