    GA, I was informed that the offending component is now reformed by the "councilors". I have a feeling they work for....."an organization" lol! To be honest I forgot to ask about the details because I was so excited about getting the block I was about to pee in my pants. There were...

    Here are a few pics from my non-critical items this weekend. I cut out the insulation for the dog house. I have a plan to attach it using some hard points glued onto the doghouse.....probably going to be easier to post pictures on that possibly brilliant plan than try to explain it at this...

    So the main bolt I need didn't get shipped till Thursday.....which I thought would more or less kill this weekend....and I'll be damned, the USPS came through! Back to the engine after I cut out a 4' tall "4" and "0" to put in a friends yard for her birthday! The nice thing about having a...

    I thought I would post a quick update. I ended up having to make an emergency run to the lake to deal with an issue on my dock, so I didn't have a chance to work on the engine until today. I actually had to do some fabrication for the dock before I left, and had a mess in the shop to clean up...

    So I put plastiguage on the mains, torqued them to spec, then backed them off. Everything was well within the spec. Put assembly lube on everything, aligned the cam timing marks, then started torquing the caps in sequence.....I was on the final pass of 65 ft. lbs. SNAP :mad-new::frusty: That...

    I had to work most of the day, but finally had some time on the motor. Funny how I work more now that I am working from home? I did have to go to the office and a job today.....did that because I knew no one would be there. I used my foot to unlock and open all doors :eek::D The biggest project...

    Good news, doesn't seem to be much on the news! The head came in today.....I just need to get the valve cover and rocker covers back and I think I have all the parts to put things back together...other than paint I am picking up tomorrow. The first pick shows the lump ports he installed...

    I spent some time tonight stripping the covers for the engine...valve cover, oil pan etc. The timing cover is probably chevy, it had orange paint under the black. It and the oil pan cleaned up with one coat of stripper. I used the skull and cross bones kind, not the sissy kind. The mercruiser...

    I made some progress today, nothing very exciting mostly cleaning. I did drill the crank for a harmonic balance bolt. GM doesn't put one in from the factory which makes barring the motor over to find top dead center annoying. I bought a jig, drill bit and tap from 12 bolt . com. That is the...

    Engine goodies showed up today! Cam, lifters, harmonic balancer, gaskets, main-rod-cam bearings, timing gear set, balanced rods with ARP bolts...and he threw in comp cams break in oil. Which I am sure saves in from explaining to people why the cam went flat later when they use non-zinc oil. He...
