That engine looks sexy with the new pistons inside. Great work.
It's a got to be a great feeling after putting it back together and having no regrets. I've never experienced that when wrenching lol jk.
I agree with your call on the head bolts too. While I'm not an engine builder, there's always a certain risk factor of aftermarket stuff that isn't accounted for with the original engine parts. I've heard of broken ringlands, melted pistons, spun bearings and plenty of bent rods but I've never heard of an N54 lifting the head especially at a somewhat sane power level.
This should be really rewarding when it's done!
