Thanks for compliments.
I'm not real happy with the low gloss black (long story, backyard job, yada yada)
Adjusted the valves yesterday..........motor runs good.
Best part of the whole deal is this forum and the fact that I have done all the work myself (except for machining block).
What's new with that beauty of yours?
Thanks for the nice compliment .

My truck is gathering dust, unfortunately. We're hosting a dual baby shower for my daughter and my daughter in law. BOTH are pregnant and due in June and July so I've spent every spare minute the last couple months painting the new nursery, re-landscaping the backyard, yada, yada...
