Block and crank are home, doing final wash on the block tomorrow then start assembly. Exhaust manifold is going to the coating house for high temp coating - help keep the heat in the manifold.

The block assembly is going to take a while as I need to generate crank timing diagrams for the internal crank trigger wheel.

Tried an initial pour on the intake runner today, well not perfect but now know what changes to make in the mold.. got a huge gas bubble - not good.

Lots to do...
