| After removing the 302 engine out of the donated 86 Crown Victoria wagon, it was stripped and sent to Engines Extra for complete rebuilding. They acid washed the block, rebored the cylinders .030 over, balanced the crank and much more to get it ready for a host of new parts. Once the block was ready, Jean Paul re-installed the upgraded cam-shaft. Then came the newly balanced crank and then the performance piston and rings |
| Jean-Paul of Engines Extra shows how to install a camshaft in the completely rebored, cleaned and painted 302 block |
| Next, he installs the balanced crankshaft with new bearing and seals |
| The block is now ready to receive the new Hastings notched pistons and rings |
| Jean-Paul teaches the kids about the pistons and rings before he installs them |
| The block is now complete. New pistons, rings, bearings, seals and more have been expertly installed into the 302 block which was bored .030 over stock. Now it is time to install some shiny stuff. |
