got these hunks of **** out for the 3 or 4th time I don’t even remember. Let’s see what happens from here

In the mean time.
 

Downtime / free time had some time to mess around and rough out painting the bilge. Still lack the transom yet but just for messing around turned out well I think before and after photos attached

What did you use for materials? Taking on a project with a friend and that is one on the punch list.

This for paint and lots and lots of acetone and 3m red and green scuff pads.

spent a lot of time with dawn powerwash also! That stuff is awesome!!

Thanks ! I been using Rust Oleum Implement paint on my house outside steel railing. That stuff rolls on great and stay nice looking for 2 years now. I also found felt rollers at Lowe's that leave a very smooth finish. almost looks sprayed on.

should have said I did use felt rollers! Sorry I was a little vague!

Engines
 

Me again. Got the engines torn down by the builder finally this week. That being said

we have a set of Frankenstein’s

heads are mis matched
head gaskets are wrong and mis matched
cams are mis matched
Valves/ seats are/ where not seating properly
mis matched cranks
mis matched pistons
just to name a few things.

Will have photos here tomorrow or so.

luckily no catastrophic damage has been done or can’t be machined out.

luckily they are 4 bolt main blocks lol. I will update the list as I learn and know more.

Good Greif! What a shame.
