Immortal D Part 2 - D series Engine Build

Ricky exclusively uses Torco assembly lubricant for everything. Here, he is lubing the cam journals before setting in the cam.

Ricky says that you can never have too much lube. We agree.

Before the cam caps can be installed, Hondabond needs to be applied to the distributor seal and cam seal.

It's OK to use a normal ratchet and socket to thread the cam cap bolts, butthe head. After the head has been assembled, they can be reinstalled.

Ricky uses a stud tool to get the manifold studs completely threaded.

Ortiz drops the cam caps in place making sure not to take out the mounting bolts. Not only do these bolts hold the cam caps to the head, they keep the whole rocker assembly together.

The manifold studs were removed because they get in the way while porting the head. After the head has been assembled, they can be reinstalled.

Hondabond is applied to the waterneck before it is reinstalled.

Next up is the Skunk2 Pro Series intake manifold. All we need now is a bottom end and a big ol' turbo.
