I had some more free time this morning to tinker with the engine.

I installed the cam sprockets and thanks to Jamie for getting me the cam bolts so I could continue with the build.


I installed the timing chain and timed the engine. And spun the pistons around to test to see if anything touches. It's all free and builds pressure too.
Just to bring it up again. I used the timing set from a 2.3L Ranger motor because of the stronger and more quite chain like the 2.0L and the 2.0L oil pump sprocket because the larger diameter for more flow at higher RPM levels.





So I also noticed with the 2.3L and the 2.0L oil pan that you can actually have a easy Oil baffle install if you can weld lol.

Pic below is the 2.3L and the one on the top is the 2.0L. The right side of the 2.0L has no depth. It is just sealed off from factor to hold less oil. And the oil splash plates in the 2.0L can have a simple piece of metal welded to it to create a oil baffle as compared to the 2.3L GPwerks Oil baffle.



Now I have laid down some High Temp Silicone to install my new pan.




Then I bolted it to the block and sealed her tight.



That's it for now.
