Best woman alive. Fed me taco bell while swapping an alternator in the napa parking lot.

Ben saved my *** and made the bung welding somewhat passable. (my attempt before this was horrible, i got about 3/4 of the way round then hit like a pocket of nasty oil or something and made a mess)

And started a log manifold. Should be done soon.

This is exactly what it was. I made it about 3/4 of the way around, with a decent bead. Then hit a pocket of something and it went to hell. Ground a bunch out and piled filler in there. Going to smooth it out and powdercoat it.
Oh well, life moves on.

Snagged an oil pan baffle from a fellow forum member. Cheap insurance. Why not. Make some more power from less windage?
Pistons are still out being coated but after they come back everything goes to the machine shop.
Psyber is an awesome guy and sent me his spare compressor cover. Will probably send it off to get powder coated.

Spent some more time working on the manifold. It is a hard design. Not excited to make more of these. Lots of small adjustments. Still struggling to get full penetration on the schedule 40 pipe, but get pretty close. Also added gussets where soviets cracked.
