i was cutting down studs and tapiing them on the mill with a tilt table on it for this small machine shop in town i told him i did not care if i did them or not i think they found a guy that was 10. bucks cheaper then me . boring out the push rod holes were fun i always was waiting for the drill to grab and take the pinch out of the intake port
