Picked up the 99 relieved block from the machinist that I got him to hone to suit the new steel pistons I supplied. Unfortunately, the crankshaft I'd asked him to grind was cracked and bent, told him to put it in his scrap metal bin... now the hunt is on for a crankshaft! Oh, the fun of it, playing with all this old stuff, isn't it a great disease?
Incidentally, this is supposed to be a 'budget' build, just to use up some of the accumulated 'junk' [ask my wife] in my shed.
