To get the much needed ARP lube for the conrod ARP bolts....
Those who can remember so far back, I had the original power unit rebuilt previously (to my great disappointment) by the engineering shop, so I did not have the torque spec of the ARP bolts anymore, so after some phone calls and research etc, FOR THIS SPECIFIC application with my conrods that I am running the bolts must be torqued to 37 ft/lb. So that is what I did.
All four pistons fitted the correct way around and with the conrods also facing the correct way around....
