S/B stroker block prep
You'll notice that there is extra metal that was added to the block, just about everywhere, so grinding sharp flashings and edges will be an on-going thing until the block is finally delivered to the maching shop.
This engine will sport a roller cam so there are issues that must be addressed. These next 2 pics demonstrate where grinding will be needed to allow room for link bars on the roller lifters.
Now, there's still too much material in these areas, but when the rollers arrive, I'll grind off the rest. A word of caution. The water is just next door so grinding will be kept to a minimum. Shady Dell (Ryan Johnson) tells me that the earlier blocks are very thin here.
