318 LA build log

I forgot to add more stuff.

Installed the valve springs at as close to the correct hight I can get. I needed some shims of different thicknesses and was lucky the machine shop had plenty in stock. These springs with the dampers I bought from Hughes to use with their cam as they suggested. I'll have part numbers and a whole list when the engine is finished.

Also did some grinding on the rocker arms so they can clear the larger springs.

Also, I forgot to show what happens when a long burr is out of balance. It became a noodle and vibrated so much it would have become dangerous if I had let go of the tool. That is why I NEVER TIE THE ENDS OF THE EXTENSION CORD when using power tools. When **** goes wrong, you need to unplug that **** fast.
