Newish block bored and decked today. Tunnel bore to go for the steel main caps next. I can now order my crossflow high comp pistons and then it's time to hone to finished piston size. Also made a start on laminating the last four planks as well as making valve spring seats for the head. Busy busy.

Another busy day. Started on scarfing and joining plank lengths, knocked up the spring seats for the new conical valve springs, and mocked up new crank in dummy block.

I'm badly sidetracked this week trying to engineer the impossible. I also need a CAD program!

There's no way I can compete with Bob. I don't know how his shed wall manages to hold all that weight. Lol.

An early Christmas present that I'm going to sneek under the tree and plead ignorance about.
