In the mean time.
Downtime / free time had some time to mess around and rough out painting the bilge. Still lack the transom yet but just for messing around turned out well I think before and after photos attached

Thanks ! I been using Rust Oleum Implement paint on my house outside steel railing. That stuff rolls on great and stay nice looking for 2 years now. I also found felt rollers at Lowe's that leave a very smooth finish. almost looks sprayed on.

Engines
Me again. Got the engines torn down by the builder finally this week. That being said
we have a set of Frankenstein’s
heads are mis matched
head gaskets are wrong and mis matched
cams are mis matched
Valves/ seats are/ where not seating properly
mis matched cranks
mis matched pistons
just to name a few things.
Will have photos here tomorrow or so.
luckily no catastrophic damage has been done or can’t be machined out.
luckily they are 4 bolt main blocks lol. I will update the list as I learn and know more.
