Editing Engine rebuild/assembly

==Preamble==
This article will take you through the inspection and assembly of a basic V8 engine from bare block to completed running engine. Clear and concise videos show you the actual hands-on part by part assemble backed up with written and pictorial comments.

{{Note1}} Some dynamic compression rtatio calculators (like KBs) ask for an additional 15 degrees of duration be added to the IVC @ 0.050" lift point figure. This works OK on older, slower ramped cam lobes, but the faster lobe profiles may need to have 25 degrees or more added to be accurate.

{{Note1}}If the intake valve closing (IVC) point isn't known, it can be calculated:
# Divide the intake duration by 2
# Add the results to the lobe separation angle (LSA)
# Subtract any ground-in advance
# Subtract 180
This result does not need to have any amount added to the IVC point, like the KB calculator calls for.
