Got a cool gift on Fathers Day from the kids. #1 I really like signage for some reason and I occasionally build some signs for fun (I'll add pics of one). When I was very young my mom worked at a Chevy dealer in the small town I was from, I don't know why but I have always loved the old "OK Used Cars" logo from that era seen at the GM dealers, so they got me a 24"x24" neon version I thought was super cool.

With the coating that's on them, it can be near zero. I'm going to confer with L2L coatings tomorrow.

Got the crankshaft balancing done today, just need to chamfer the holes we drilled and it's ready.

I remember those "OK Used Cars" signs, too. Funny, today just "OK" wouldn't be good enough, and hey, it's "Pre-owned", The world is nuts, but I'm "OK".

Funny how society re-defines words through time.

If anyone remembers the Grant quick disconnect saga, I recieved an e-mail from Summit yesterday (1 year to the date of original order) it should ship in 8 weeks.

Your done after you ck the crank for straitness. You might already know this, but its crucial with that balancer that all the bob weights are exactly the same distance away from the radius of the rod throws. I use a drill bit for this.
