Australian head and US block are at the machinist. This may take awhile. The machinist, Mike, shared a building with mechanic. The mechanic committed suicide ten days ago. With all the turmoil and chaos, he's so far behind it may be a while before he gets caught up.
He's installing bronze guides, new seats and opening up the bowls for new SI stainless valves (1.76 intakes and 1.50 exhausts). When he's done with that the head goes to the porter and then back to the machinist for finishing. Hope I can get the basic head work done in the next week. I'd nag, but it's been a tough ten days on Mike.
The block is going to be a pretty conventional hi-po rebuild.
