[QUOTE="jbrown1238, post: 13715424, member: 56552"] I know this might seem a little out of the ordinary but I just don’t have access to a proper parts washer. So I had to put together a “poor man’s version” for the final cleaning of the piston/rod assemblies. Because the Scat Rods come with a rust inhibitor and the ARP fasteners have lubricant from the factory I felt soap and water wasn’t the best method for cutting these properties. A solvent really is required for this type job. So here we go!!! Advance Auto Parts Portable Parts Washer $24.95. [ATTACH=full]529497[/ATTACH] The Scat Connecting Rods go right in the can and the rod caps and cap screws in the small parts bucket. The assemblies were scrubbed with a soft brush and then a wire brush was used for the passages. [ATTACH=full]529498[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]529499[/ATTACH] Once all of the piston/rod assemblies had been through the “Parts Washer” they were then wiped clean and sprayed with brake cleaner to remove any excess cleaning solvent. Then individually bagged and set aside while the piston rings were cleaned. [ATTACH=full]529500[/ATTACH] The rings were then installed on each of the pistons and the assemblies were placed back inside the appropriated numbered plastic bag. [ATTACH=full]529501[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]529502[/ATTACH] Now comes the time that I have been waiting for so patiently! Let’s drop in Piston #1! [ATTACH=full]529503[/ATTACH] Once it has been lined up the rod bearing is installed and the rod cap lightly set into place and torqued to spec. But first lets install the cap correctly, I got a little busy taking pictures and set the cap on in reverse orientation. [ATTACH=full]529504[/ATTACH] Let’s step back and take a look real quick! Oh yea, that looks nice in there! [ATTACH=full]529505[/ATTACH] I think I will spin it up for a closer look! [ATTACH=full]529506[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]529507[/ATTACH] Everything checks out so I am going to keep moving. Here comes piston #5. [ATTACH=full]529508[/ATTACH] Then #2 and #6.
