I have been building a stroker I6 for my jeep, and today I finally got the long block complete. Lots of hiccups in the process, but that's how everything always is for me. Here's my latest pics. Enjoy.
Used my new tupperware for the first time yesterday.

Made some progress with engine assembly today.

The original valvecover bolts were breaking at 10 ft-lbs so I went to the store and picked up grade 8 bolts and washers and put them in at 12 ft-lbs. Adds some bling so it was definitely worth it. (That was a joke)
