Here is a video from yesterday. Today didn't make it to the shop. I will get the rockers mounted and get started on gaskets I hope next weekend. I did drill all 4 heads I figured why not do them all as it doesn't effect anything if I go with the original rockers. I did set down and do some deburing and set up to cut down the area for the lock nut. Anyway I am getting closer every time I spend time in the shop so thas a good thing (I think) .

Ok have exhaust pipes done for now so on to the plug wires again. I think the first thing I will do is make some wire organizers. The silver soldering went pretty good for the most part. I did solder one with the video camera running. I may end up painting the set that will go onto the engine that I have put paint on.

Wow, that's awesome to be able to build an engine from scratch. I'd mount it in a 1/5 scale '55 Chevy RC car.
