Haha. My favorite is: "damit, I know damn well old rings are sharp! So why are my fingers bleeding?"

Screws your finger tips up for a week or so, sore as hell too..

Can't even get a quarter off the counter after that..ugh

nice work its not every day you see a hot girl that likes to work on cars and is good at it.

**tep98ws6** · 12-08-2009, 05:56 AM

last night was basically just cleaning up, measuring, milling and prepping for honing

finished intake (real happy with it)

finished head! took out all the sharp corners and casting marks to prevent heat/stress cracks

clean & shiny block

pretty cleaned up pistons!

painted glossy black fuel rail (still needs clear tonight)

resurfacing the deck surface on the mill bc they looked like they had been placed on a belt sander

resurfaced flywheel

the dump my TA has become since so many things get stolen from school

annnnd the hood rich silvy i'm driving until i'm done. this thing is falling apart everywhere

god love my dad for even letting me drive it cuz he loves this heap so much

**tep98ws6** · 12-08-2009, 05:57 AM

ps sorry for the massive pics, it's a pain to upload them at work since our computers have no resizing programs AT ALL

**mark21742** · 12-08-2009, 06:09 AM

looks good! how much did you have to mill off? sunday night we milled my heads down .037", but took almost .020" just to get them flat.
I'll bet your excited....i know I am and can't wait to get home to do some more work on it

**tep98ws6** · 12-08-2009, 07:52 AM

reminder to self; i still need to get an oil pick up, oil psi snsr, valley gasket, valve seals and i think that's it.........

**0verkill** · 12-08-2009, 09:32 AM

are you putting any go fast stuff on? now would be a good time for stuff like the oil pump and long tubes. also what rod bolts are you putting in it may as well fix the week point and put arp bolts in. and if you can a oil pan baffle.
