2017 November 15: Engine assembly (3.30 hours)
Updated:
Installed brand new oil pump. This took a very long time as I was extremely careful to make sure everything fit properly and did not bind.
Installed timing chest cover with a new Viton seal...used grease to lube gasket except for the very bottom (up to the first bolts on the side). There I used Permatex Super 300.
Installed oil sump...used grease to lube gasket.
Loosely installed the generator drive pulley onto the crankshaft.
