After the block is decked and the last head (I am in the garage porting/polishing it today) is dropped off and finished, I will bring the engine back here and re-assemble it with rings. THe short block will be on its way together for real, the heads will be put on and snugged and we will learn my way of testing for piston to valve clearance as taught to me by a 30 year vetern race engine builder. Its a quick and easy way to test. After that, if all is well, its time to mask things off and finish whatever painting needs done. The colors are going to be Plum Purple on the block/timing cover/valve covers and all bolts sprayed alluminum, and the intake/heads sprayed alluminum. It will be a very bright and colorfull engine for at least a week after it gets slammed into my Father-in-laws work truck....lol...he will beat the bee-jee-zus out this thing and never think twice!
