Got the last piston/rod out today. Only took 4 days.

Crank didn't move till I got 6 out & that was with a BFH.

Now I got to find storage till I can bundle the carcass & move outside.

I still have that 351 block from the 96 I was originally planning on using that was 30 over and out of round on the bores sitting out in my storage tent, one of these days there is going to be a big pile of scrap heading over to the scrap yard. I'll have to make arrangements for a bin to be dropped off

The 5.8 is capable of going .060 over & in roller config can go $450-$600 for a core.

Room is valuable too.

Rough week with dental issues.

Extraction leaves one with feeling that his head was used as punching bag.

I had to tell surgeon "that's not enough" inviting another lance through the roof of my mouth.

Those shots take almost as long to get over as the "pulling".

He had to use a drill which sounded like machine shop at 200 db going off in my head.

One of my guys has a micro torque wrench.

Saw it on a tray & new exactly what it was.

We bonded over tools...
