No major progress, but work is still being done on the car. We will post more pics once a little more visible progress has been made.
We got new main/rod bearings installed, took a bit of time to mess with the shims under the main bearing caps and the plasti-gauge fun times. Installed an aluminum cam gear in place of the OEM fiber gear and found a few slightly bent pushrods. Now the oil pan, timing cover and side cover are all permanently installed, we even remember to put the oil pump in before the pan went on!! The only visible difference in all that work is that now there's not a crankshaft in a box on the floor.
