Tomorrow we'll assemble the cylinder heads, brackets, timing chain, cover, and maybe the valvetrain, and drop that in the car while we have the people here. It'* cake from there.

I can piece away at it easily in the garage from there. I still have a little work to do on the intercooler.

Should take a few minutes to clean all that road salt out of BoneEvil'* engine bay.

Matt, your Alero looks fast with BoneEvil'* drag slicks.

Sounds like a good plan to get all the bull work done while the group is there. :P

I haven't seen any blood yet but from the serious looks on all the faces we all know serious work is going on.

No blood that I'm aware of at all. A couple are probably a little stiff and sore this morning though.

Getting the coffee going, and then after everyone wakes up (John) we'll kick on the compressor. It'* raining right now, but should clear later.

You gonna stick the boroscope in through the exhaust cutout to look for piston chunks in the cat?

Can't. It'* a Y that I can't turn through. I could from the DP though. Not really worried about it. Most of it was tiny pieces and molten on the top of the piston after the boom.

What pieces went downstream won't be a problem. Besides, I bypass my cat temporarily when it matters (at the track).
