I was making good progress then 2014 came along. Been sick ever since that first polar vortex a few weeks ago. I finally feeling better today and another Saskatchewan Screamer is moving in tonight for the rest of the week.
I even spent 24 hours in the hospital as a precaution due to my kidney transplant.
You guys in ND, MN and other northern climates can work in that kind of cold but I hibernate.
Any way I was off work today and finally had a chance to take the engine block, crankshaft and pistons into the machine shop. We'll see how that goes in a week or two. I'll take the head in later to be worked.
Got some "new" parts from Mike Borth auto parts today (below)
Purchased another transmission cool as the inlets on mine had deteriorated a good deal. Also got a set of oil baffles for when the heads go back together.
No real work being down at the moment. I'm concentrating my cash on the engine.
