Nothing major to report today ... just picked up the parts from the dealer today for the rebuild. I remember a part that I forgot (enging/transmission plate) that I will have to order tomorrow. I have my rebuild manual and parts for the machine shop at the front door ready and waiting for me to drop them off tomorrow morning. The parts are: All 17 (3 different part numbers) TTY bolts for the girdle/block, 24 valve stem seals & 1 rear main seal. The shop is ordering the bearings ... drats ... that reminds me ... the rod bolts are also TTY ... damn ... need to place another order!
