flathead motor PT3

Well today i went and got myself some more stuff. Isky Max 1 cam (3/4 race cam) i needed a valve guide retainer removal tool so i got me one of those so i can continue disassembly of my block and i also picked up an aluminum timing gear and new steel crank gear. So im almost ready for machine work. Remove valve guides and seats, remove old cam, send block out for magnafluxing and cleaning. port and polish the head, intake and block as well as get the machine work done. Then I can buy the new valves, guides and the oversized pistons and rings and get them balanced with the crank. There is some slight modification to my block that i need to do to create a PCV system, then I'm pretty much ready for reassembly. Merry Christmas to me.

Aewsome, more progress is a good thing.
Miss the meeting?
I decided not to tackle these road conditions or spread my cold around.
