My Pete rebuild

[Nostalgic]

Block is back from the machine shop. Had .020" shims shipped to them from Apex, and got 5-.020" and 1-.021" shim. I'm glad they wanted the shims and didn't listen to me when I suggested just cutting them all for the liners to sit -.006".

Wanted to build my liner press today, but a couple hot days brought a lot of ac work in. Did my (hopefully) final clean up of the block tonight followed with a hot sudsy bath and good rinse down.



All I want now is to hear it start for the first time, but we're a long ways to go doing this nights and weekend warrior style.



Brought home the new head. Now I just have an injector cam and all new rollers left on the shopping list. Really wish there was a cheaper way around them, and I haven't even inspected the rockers yet... Fingers crossed that I don't find any more surprises.
