I've known Bill Richardson for many,many years. I drive right past his shop coming to work everyday and going home at the end of the day. I like Bill but I work at a race engine shop myself, so its not logical to use him but I do call him and we sonic check blocks for him occasionally.
I've got the Poly engine out and will take it apart after work today. Lots of parts are already on order but keep in mind this is a cruiser, not a max effort race engine. I appreciate the info from everyone. Keep it coming.
