Great job JRV (Jrvall) Member Username: Jrvall Post Number: 856 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 1:21 pm:    More assembly. Notice the Triple Beam Scale....all Ferrari Engines should be balanced to within 0.5 grams, imo, first rods are wieghed and balanced, then pistons, then units. (notice wieghts noted on pistons) Front suspension re-fitted Rear Suspension reassembled to the frame JRV (Jrvall) Member Username: Jrvall Post Number: 855 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 1:09 pm:    The project moving forward.
