Engine At Machine Shop - Finally
Created on 2005-12-20 13:45:17
Yesterday I finally got around to dropping of the block, head and crank shaft to my machinist and today I dropped off the valves, pistons and rods.
He's going to inspect the valves to see which ones can be reused and he'll be inspecting the rods for roundness and straightness.
This guy works on engines as a hobby. He must have had 2 dozen engines sitting around the shop including a 30's vintage Olds V-8, a couple Chevy dragster engines, a Mini Cooper engine, and a few industrial Ford straight sixes. I think he's going to do a good job on my and his rates are reasonable.
