Re: 1917 engine assembly

Hi- I'm getting close to the point where I will be putting the block

back on the crankcase. Does anyone have a recommended procedure? The

manual calls for all the rods with pistons and rings to be installed on

the crank first. The rods being tight enough to stay in the upright

position. This seems risky to me with the possibility of bending the

rods or breacking the rings etc. Any suggestions would be much

appreciated.
