New 408 build finally started

Ohhh well guys I screwed myself in about 100 different ways today. I took out some shims and was down to .130 and had a small rub so I blued the pushrod hoping I could see where it was rubbing. It worked and and I checked it with my sonic checker and hoping it was just a high spot addressed it. When I flipped the head over to sonic check it again I could see a soft spot so I grabbed my pick and bingo, I got a hole. Time for me to throw these on a shelf, grab my other set, do a valve job and check the springs, and finish this damn engine up. It’s going to be fun getting that aborted aluminum tube out of that hole and a new one epoxied in. Not looking forward to that job. Sounds like a winter project.
