ORGANIZATION FOR EFFICIENCY
I’ve found “1-Buck” store mini muffin tins are great inexpensive parts organizers. I use them for bucket style solid lifters that are found in many late model DOHC heads. They enable me to easily put them back in the original positions. In this picture, I used them to keep rod bolts in the same locations as the rods after I had measured the new length and recorded it for the customer. The next time this engine comes in for a freshen up, we can verify the bolt lengths to ensure the bolts have not yielded. The tray even makes washing parts a little quicker. As we all know, the less times you change tools in your hands the more efficient you can be.
