RE: HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN ENGINE
very nice write up!
I have yet to do this with a 4.6.... we just finished rebuilding my buddies subbie and will be droping the motor back in this weekend. Should be fun!

RE: HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN ENGINE
She's done!!!!!!!!!! Started right up. Had some ticking but that was just the lash adjusters needing to fill, its gone now. Got to break her in now. Got some smoke coming from the exhaust but I think that is just the oil that was inside of the headers when the engine failed. Ill give more updates later and try to get a video.

RE: HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN ENGINE
Did you prime the engine before you started?? Also, I didn't see you use any assembly lube on anything, unless I wasn't looking hard enough.. Isn't that sort of a bad thing??
Excellent write up though, definitely helps those who haven't done any type of engine work..

Yes I did prime the engine. I pulled the fuse for the fuel pump andturned the engine for about 20 sec to get the oil pressure up. The shortblock they did use assembely lube for the upper part of the motor I used 30w oil.

RE: HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN ENGINE
I didn't even read all of that. I just subscribed. I'm sure it's some useful information. Especially since I know nothing about how to build an engine.
