Hi All, I've created this thread in addition to my 745 project build thread, since I would like to keep the engine build seperate, since it might end up in some other project eventually. For this first update I'll start with the beginning, the block and inspection. (first pictures taken with potato, sorry)

Step 1: Buy a B230fk engine with all turbo bits, squirter block and thick rods
Step 2: Inspect and tear down said engine block, discover lack of oil changes by previous owner
Oil starvation on the rodbearings, not shown here but somewhat less on the crankshaft bearings.
Not the best starting point, but after some inspection, the cylinder walls look okay, the rods where already on the replace list, same for the pistons.
Step 3: Cleanup and block preparations
Oil port modifications
Cleanup with hone and drill (measurements were taken with calibers to assure within reasonoable spec)
Fresh paint
Removed Carbon, polished crankcase, ground oil return channels, cleaned up oil channels and mating surfaces.
