 Well, it's finally coming together. Had to send the rotating assy back twice. First time because I decided to go .040 instad of .030. The rod bearing on #6 had scored up the cylinders. They sent me a flat top assy instead of dish. Had to send that one back and finally got the correct one. Here's a couple of pic from Fri.
 
 Have you ever seen such a happy engine? Lookit that smile.
   
 Maybe some of this got spilled in it. LOL

Man Dwain, with all the great work your putting into your motor, you may wanna go with a little higher octane fuel, like say maybe Jack Daniels.Rolling%20On%20The%20Floor%20Laughing
