I’m excited for the machine shop to call and say it’s ready for pickup lol. It’s down in Rockville, Md at Rockville Ring and Bearing. Sounds like you are about overdue for a trip back up north now .
Cool. I had a few sets of heads cleaned up by that shop and they did good work, albeit that was 45ish years ago. :) Most of my block work i had done at a shop in Hyattsville and my old brain can't recall the name of it right now...lol.
If/when i do get back up there, i'll let you know so you can give me a ride in that purty car.
