Rough hone on the Grubbworm 's block finished today. I'll let it settle down and finish it tomorrow afternoon.

Also got the remainder of the lifter bores to size for the Jesel Keyed bushings, as well as decked, hoop receiver grooves and bored today.

Worked a short shift today... only 14 hrs haha.

I'm using the 'ol Rottler F65 for everything now. Pushrods don't fit? Fix it on the Rottler!

Also got Grubbworm 's Winberg crank balanced by drilling a couple nice big holes.... she was about 35 grams heavy front and rear. I hope those counter weights dont flop around and break off now. 🤣

One of the things I have really been stressing is hooping Grubbworm 's new Profiler Airstrike heads (done by RFD). We purchased the leveling table from Rottler to deck and hoop heads on our F65, but we never could seem to wrap our minds around the universal mounting kit that came with it....

We actually made our own fixtures (which are nice) to mount various heads by their ends because we couldn't get the Rottler kit to work. Well, these heads dont have bolt holes on the ends, so our custom fixtures wouldnt hold this set of SBC heads.

Today I decided was the day to learn something... like every day is, lol. Its actually so simple its stupid. Indicating the head in sqaure to the table took some time, but it worked out nice and the head didnt fly off the table, praise God! 🙏

One down, one to go!!
