Progress report: I've been moving forward on the Hemi coupe, but slowly. I got all the valve reliefs in the Pistons opened up.
After the mad thrash to be ready for death week, my shop looked like a tornado went through it but I didn't want to take the time to clean up so I've been working in the mess. Finally today I got so sick of it, and realized it's been slowing me down, so I took most of the day to clean up. I feel so much better working in a semi-clean shop!
Since the heads got a cleanup cut in the mill, and with the cutting I did on the pistons I wanted to check where the compression ratio ended up. I just got done with that. Right at 13.0 to 1. Good enough. Hopefully before the night is through I'll have the heads back on and have some new intake gaskets trimmed to fit so I can get the intake back on tomorrow morning.
