Tapatalk notices gone!....and now I can`t find gmt400 forum on tapatalk anymore???
If so there will be very few pic in the future.
Anyway. Started assembling my 305. My first ever rebuild (4 ****** anyway). Began well but run into a small hickup. I cold press the old wristpins out......and brainfarted when I also coldpress the new one in ..... when I got to the second piston something in my head said that this doesen´t feel right. Wristpin was binding on the (probably distorted piston after press) piston. So, now I´m waiting for 2 new pistons and will have a machineshop do this

I'm willing to do a lot of stupid stuff I probably shouldn't attempt, but installing press-fit pistons it not one of them. I did attempt it, but I couldn't get the rods hot enough in a way that I thought was safe for their health.

Making some progress but olot of headscratching instaling the motor when you got it in boxes. Nearest plan is engine and trans in the truck and have it driveble in and out of the garage before the end of this year
