Uncle Ben's BMW - Engine Reassembly Part 2

Got the new rod bearings. When I was cleaning the rods, I noticed some bluing on the big ends at roughly 12 and 6 o'clock. Musta been bad in there at one point. I'm completely ignoring any of this sort of thing...

Pretty close to being complete!

In keeping with my strategy of getting the engine squared away before any other work, I finished the engine and rigged up a test stand. ​

So it seems to run well enough, no weird noises, leaks or other red flags. That gives me the go ahead to start working on the rest of the bike.
