[Engine]: Bottom end is in 1 piece again!!
:hurray:
Well we have a beautiful father's day for weather so far and my dad's back is in great shape today. :) Got that baby honed in all of 1 minute it took after I got her up in the air and yanked the oil pan off again. The piston is back in place, oil pump, deflection tray, oil cooler lines, oil pan, starter motor. :D
I've got to take a break now and put the heads back together (Thought we had, guess not oops).
Here's an ugly looking bank of cylinders. :smash:
Theres already oil coating the walls, so the crosshatches aren't the easiest to see.

Scorp - Good to see you around. Can you fill me in or lead me to the posts? I haven't been to CF hardly at all the past several months. Someone mentioned glad you Dad is back at it? Did something happen? Hope all is well up north. :) Are you going to any of the Corvette 50th events in Nashville/BG? ~Juliet

:thumbs: It's been a very meteorologically (yeah, nice word) frustrating spring. Glad to see your dads back and the weather agreed on the same day to make some progress. Just keep :smash: and you'll be running in no time.
