I havent been slacking


I've just had a billion things to do and almost no time to do them in. between putting new valve seats in my clinder heads, port and bowl work, and anal retentative cleanlyness for all the parts. On top of that Having all the required lab and theory work for the class which entails several hundred hours of job sheets and Engine R/R in addition to the problems that your average Technician will face with ordering and aquiring parts, fitment of parts. I Am into the Next class with my own personal engine project, Which willbe finished as soon as I order in the last of the parts required(roughly $250 left to order). Then the slammin and jammin starts and stops and starts again with all the blue-printing phases nessscary to make the level of performance I'm looking for and the longevity of the engine demanded in this industry. Ok now that the long long introduction is over its time for the pictures, Hurray for pictures




This picture is of one of my cylinder heads waiting for me to finish the new valve seats(It take on average 3 turns of a 45 degree angle cutter). At this point I was just waiting for the valve springs keepers and retainers to arrive from summit racing(shipping out of navada)











The next photo is of the engine block after i pulled it out of the jet cleaner and dried it off. It wasnt too badly dirty, but ever bit of dort on the outside can an often will get into the inside and cause Havoc with both bearings and machined surfaces, If you block comes back from rebuilding still covered in dirt, dont expect much.










This picture is some of the port work that was done, I got a little grinder happy and dont have a before picture but believe me I took a ton of material out of the ports and upper intake









My pistons are waiting to get back in the bores and get some fire put to them, Speed thou art my mistress.
