I just spoke with him & no (real) progress except he said a valve stem he observed, was blued. I went over prior stuff & he reinterated that the oil and the filter were clean and that he undid the rocker arms before he put the breaker bar on the crank & he got it to turn ~ 1/2 turn to get the other (2) TC bolts off & it was real hard to turn. His schedule has worsened & he wont be able to do anything (more) until Nov 17th at the earliest.
