    Got everything back from the machine shop. 2 cylinder bores were .002 too tight, so he honed them out, and honed the rest to clean them up. Now everythings perfect bore, and will give me a good .0045 piston/sidewall clearance. Even honed the lifter bores without charge.
    Now I've got to finish polishing the rods so I can have them shot peened, and everything balanced.
    Should get my mill up and running next week, and get the valve job tooling to do the heads myself. Then slap it all together and start her up.

    If anyone in CT need a machine shop -
    Fitzgerald Automotive, Beacon Falls CT, 203-723-7247

    I've dealt with them twice so far, and plan on going back. They definately know what they are doing, and are good guys.
