Check Needle and Seat height, gauge is 25mm
If you need to change any of this, then the washer is the go..

Next is float hold down tool 24mm..
It replaces the fact that the float doesn't come out with the removal of the carb top and the needle and seat like all IDF series..
Screw it in:

I just wiggle it side to side so the 24mm is not more or less but as accurate as I can get..
[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Then Float hang tool... at my 5.75mm
Wrong hangange
[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]
And hanging perfectly

Time to install pistons, getting ring gap is crucial, since these are pistons from a turboed 16V engine they are all a little larger on top rings than I'm used to, however the 2nd ring needs filing to size and a nice hand tool is the perfect way to get a proper ring gap and do it gently.
I use a 0.004" x bore size for the top ring, and 0.005" x bore size for the 2nd ring.
[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]
After installing the rings by hand, and clocking them so they aren't aligned in their gaps, adding some oil and the use of an awesome ring n piston tool, I can push in the piston by hand into each cylinder.
[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]
I like to install each piston in their respective cylinders with the wrist pin clips that you can't get to already in place.

I use a high temperature grey silicon under the barrels as can be seen, not too much...
Also after installing the cylinder deflector tin I add a neat dab just to aid in keeping them in place.

Heads and rockers and pushrod tubes ready to go.
[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Inserting the pushrod tubes and then lowering the head, nipping up the bottom row head studs first to compress the tubes, then nipping up the top row, then torquing once to 15ft/lbs and then 25ft/lbs.
[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Drop in the precut pushrods.
[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]
And add some oil to aid in the startup.

Rockers go on, previously shimmed and stamped per side.

About to do valve lash adjustment, old school method of making sure #1 cylinder is at TDC

And quite obvious the piston is right at the top.

Starting at #1 Cyl, setting lash cold at 0.006" as the Engle cam card specifies.
[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]
[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Going around all valves in firing 1.4.3.2 order.
I do it at least twice before calling it good, as in my experience and this engine proves, 2 out of 8 valves closed up a little bit, I only assume this is because valves on each side share a cam lobe.

Ok, so longblock done!
[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Well almost, flywheel endplay next.
[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]
[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]
And then check with oldschool gauge as I distrust digital.
Interesting that I get 0.005" with the digital, and 0.0055" with the analog, so 2 thousandths over stock is good to go for this engine.

Tinware starting to be mocked up.

Exhaust being mocked up by Johnny who's car this is going in, happens this car is in my driveway and has a removable apron!
"Built" a dummy engine that morning just to mock this up.

It's alive!
As of yesterday, just running the cam in, it's quite mild at idle or below 2000rpm and surprised me.
I'll work out some video and share it as soon as I can....
