Haven't been able to get much of anything done, been working over on the eastern shore for the past 8 days. Made it home late Saturday night so once I drug my butt outa bed Sunday I did manage to go out and set the heads home for the final time. Did have one small hiccup with the head locator dowel's though. They were pioneer brand, fit good and tight in the registers but either they were to tall or the registers in either the block or heads were not quite deep enough. Easy enough fix by dragging the dowel's a few passes across the belt sander. Just a strange ordeal, my bet is it was the dowel's themselves and not the block or heads. Anyway got the heads set home and fastened down atleast. Time for more parts now, it never seems to end. Next up is ordering pushrods, water pump, finishing up my 3rd oil pan, (sold the first two). Slowly but surely it goes. Did manage to get several coats of high temp clear sprayed and baked on the valve covers though. I love the rough cast look but it sure is a pain to clean so the clear coat with make it alot easier to maintain..
