The seller wants the head back to issue a refund. So, more waiting for me.

Got the block back from the machine shop. Cleaned and honed. Looks awesome now. More parts ordered. Shouldn’t be more than 2 weeks now.

She runs!
Long time no post. She's running. I'll have a writeup with a few photos later. But she runs!! And smooth.
we need to replace some bushings to take care of some horrible chatter.
Just thought I'd update the post during this really weird time
