Killed a few unneeded brain cells painting the engine. Just hope the ones I need hid from the fumes.
I hear that! I got my heads taped up, just need a final wipe down and paint.

Clean, what engine was in it?
 
Picked this beauty up from the machine shop. Boy, look at all that flash rust. 'swhat happens when you hafta wait a week to pick it up. Cam bearings are installed correctly, so that's good. Gonna be about another two weeks before I can order more parts. It sucks, but everytime I stare at that 8.5 sitting in my garage, I remember this car is gonna be more kickass than ever. Plus I tested out my hone, kinda weird that a 3.75 inch hone is a snug fit in a 3.8 bore... Oh well. I've never used one before and I made a derpy 5 second test pass in one cylinder and it came out with almost a perfect pattern. The bore were great on the engine tbh, just knocking the very mild glaze off. Plus I gotta clean up the jagged edges in the lifter valley and other places as well. This is gonna be sweet.

Today I've been neurotically sanding down the casting flash on the valve covers😕!!! Too many rough spots for me to just paint and bolt on, so I've gotta tweak 'em a bit! So yeah...I need to see a professional about not leaving stuff be 😛!!!!
