Thanks for your kind words, Joe. In reality, you indeed have the tougher job! I am checking in on your project thread multiple times a day to see how you are coming. Perhaps we will have the chance to visit someday.
Not any big progress lately. Sourced some rod bearings to replace the ones I am not thrilled with. Did another flush and cleaning on the engine internals. Also ran into a snag with the floating oil pump pickup. It sunk! I will post a want add in the F/S section. If anyone has an extra, please let me know.

I'm impressed, Jim. This is the grown-up stuff. I'm just polishing and gluing.
Son John (who rebuilt my engine and who owns Santana Crane and knows this stuff, and will be caretaker of the car in the future) will find this very helpful. Thanks for documenting what you're doing. I think I understand most of it.
