I have been slacking on updates

I haven't updated in too long. I tore my calf muscle and work screeched to a halt on the truck.

Since then, I have bought a new mig welder, welding cart, custom painted argon mix cylinder and a plasma cutter.

I got the short block assembled and a few other things. Here are some photos.

I went to bolt on the heads and was cleaning up the bolts and two of them would have snapped if I tried torquing them in they were so pitted. New bolts to arrive this week along with new rockers. I found three that were worn almost through in the push rod cup.

Should finish assembling the engine (minus accessories) this coming weekend.
