HPE does excellent work. it should only take you about 15-20 seconds to have it broken in.

I took a 4 day weekend to put my bird back together. one of the best weekends I've ever had

Damn it's beautiful, however how about some details? Like what's been done to the block and what did it cost? I mean, it's meaningless to look a a pretty short block and not know what's been done to it!!!!
