Truckin'
Been working on the engine for the truck quite a bit.
I've cleaned up a number of parts and they are ready to be bolted up.
We put the block in the boring/honing machine today.
As soon as the block is honed I can clean it, paint it, and start reassembly.
There was much bad news on this motor when we took it apart. It had been a 1/2-ass rebuild job that was done poorly. The block itself was in great shape. The decks were flat and the mains were properly sized. But I've had to do some work on the rods and pistons to make them right. Very soon though it will be ready.
