Got a phone call from the machinist on Monday. Finally some good news. The new weld was machined, and then the block pressure tested. Passed with flying colors. The new sleeve was going in, right away, then fill the block with Rock Block, bore and hone the cylinder, and cut the deck. He's hoping to be done with everything by early next week. Since Joel and I did not go on Drag Week this year, I went back to work, to save a couple vacation days. Once the block is back, I'll take a day off and reassemble everything, then take another day off for the dyno appointment. If everything goes well, I should have the car back together before the snow flies. At least I will be ready for next year.
