you're going to send the money to my paypal..that is so sweet
That's just the kinda guy I am....
Cool.
If you hear of anyone needing that split case, please send them my way.
will do
Engine is ready to pick up from machine shop. Notes of scope below, for posterity.
*Block*
1. Boiled block and cleaned all gasket surfaces.
2. Bored block and finish hone to pistons provided to .002" clearance
*See note*
3. Resurface block to remove .010"
4. R&R camshaft bearings and cam plug.
5. R&R freeze plugs.
6. Remove, hand clean, and replace oil gallery plugs.
*Head*
Delivered ported, polished, and cleaned.
1. Bored valve guides to .344"
2. Cut valve seats for OS valves.
3. Recut bowls with angles cutters to blend into ported seat diameter.
4. Checked and adjusted assembled valve height. Shortened guides to assemble head with positive valve seals, retainers, springs and keepers.
S1922 Intake Calves
S1923 Exhaust Valves
EPGVT-02-1000 Valve Spring Keepers
121-1003 TRW Valve Locks
OS 590 Valve Seals
RV 1096 Valve Springs
5. R&R 7 freeze plugs
6. Resurface head removing .040"
7. Remove oil gallery plug. Tap and insert threaded pipe plug. Cleaned and seal gallery.
*Rods*
1. Torque and inspect new con rods.
*See note*
2. Resize rod bearing end.
*Crankshaft*
1. Boil and Mic crankshaft.
2. Polished crankshaft.
*Cryogenic Treatment*
(12) Pistons with pins
(1) Rings
(6) Con rods
(1) Cam shaft
(12) Lifters
(1) Rocker arms shaft
(12) Rockers arms
(12) Pushrods
(12) Valves
(12) Valve Springs
(12) Retainers
(24) Locks
(1) Crankshaft
(1) Flywheel
*Miscellaneous*
1. Clean oil pan and side cover.
(Unnecessary...)
2. Removes alignment dowels and resurfaced flywheel.
Notes from Machinist:
*Pistons*
First set out over 13 grams and not used. Second set within 1.5 grams.
*Block*
Original replacement pistons were too far out to balance. Second set balanced, but now .003" wall clearance. Should be ok, in fact better, for charged engine.
*Rods*
All out of spec from too tight to too loose, several. .002" out of round and new OE rods out over 15 grams.
*Engine*
Crank balanced separate to flywheel. New balancer. Flywheel resurfaced.
Balanced engine complete.

Spoke with machinist for some time, a very nice guy who explained that he has the tools for precision, so anything less than what precision affords isn't used, explaining the "why" behind the request for a second set of pistons.
Furthered saying he's built these for thirty years or more and hadn't seen the spread, but agreed it may be attributed to low inventory.
Believe Robbie is picking up today, so progress to resume, assuming.

Chris,
I always wanted to put together a blueprinted engine. Mass production tends to get sloppy, so bringing everything into specs. will go a long way to making it run smooth and happy, for a long time. One less thing to worry about.
Good Job!

Ron,
The machinist sounded to have the same degree of expectations that Robbie does, which is probably why they work well together.
I could tell he's a stickler for precision just in the way he said "I have precision tools to measure, have the precision tools to perfect, so why accept anything less in the finished product?"

sounds like you have it going on now! send some pics of all these balanced parts. i am finally digging out of a hole here, so, i should have more time for looking at MUD.
Sexy baby!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Like to see more sexiness, but that pic was followed with "a tease for now" and nothing has followed.
Leads me to believe that Mrs. Delancy is in cahoots with and has divulged the secret to maintaining my attention and ensuring my best behavior.

what size valves did you end up with? (noting that you had the seats bored out and new ones pressed in implies to me that you did increase the exhaust valve dimension)
1.5 and 1.84.
Think the consensus amongst the old school machinist parallels Jim C's MO, being SS Chebby valves of the same size.
Valves guides were bored .344" for the Chebby valves, a process and size I was previously unaware.

I has succumbed to failure on maintaining the "Redheaded 2F" motif (yeah. I said motif.... 
) since overwhelmed with the abounding issues on both builds and not finding a high temp , T -309 equivalent.
Gave up on it, since a mundane item to be mired down on, but Robbie took it upon himself to pick up the ball and had a can mixed that should be a very close equivalent.
Last I heard, today through Friday is being devoted to painting the block and head and initial engine assembly.
Should have pics of red head later today or tomorrow.
Block is painting with the same epoxy chosen for the balance of all black components.
Unsure in valve cover, as far as fit or color, yet, but glad to have something to think....
