At my age man; you’re not kidding. Time consuming and patience. Not my cup of tea; but tomorrow is cam, lifters, t chain, oil pump, front and rear covers as well as the heads with valve train. So should be fun

Yeah, getting stuff assembled into a working piece of equipment is VERY satisfying! Have a great time AND put a pic up of the work done! Enjoy it!

Your block looks great. I have that step coming up, not looking forward to it. Even worse, my engine is still in the car....

Heads torqued after a smidge of EPL(extreme pressure lubricant) under the bolt heads to prevent galling and allow proper bolt stretch
