Project Cheap & Nasty Updated With Back Story

So, Cheap & Nasty moves forward, however slowly. Got the manifold studs in the head, sealed with Permatex #2, so yall can argue about it. Got my rockers, shaft and hardware all cleaned up and sprayed down with Fluid Film. If you've not used Fluid Film yet, I highly recommend it.
