3 hands would have been rather helpful from the looks of it all.. LOL One thing that surprised me is that you didn't use any assembly lube or even oil on the rockers as you were installing them.. I understand you plan to turn the engine over to get oil up there before you start it, but that is a bunch of galling that can happen in the mean time.. Probably will be fine, just surprised me is all. As I've said before, I picked up an old 580 with a 188D (essentially the same engine) that was already torn down (I can put my thumb in the hole in #1 piston), so I'm going to be looking at doing the same thing as you, like a puzzle, but with no picture on the box to follow... so I REALLY appreciate your video series here.. Thank YOU Sir.

I would have lubed the rockers except that I sleeved them with oilite bronze bushings which is self lubricating
