Is this for a different build? I thought you were doing a DIY block from Woody?

Yea, something else. I am, actually just got the shortblock last month. Just need to buy some engine building tools and then I can start. Well... when I can find some extra time in the day.

Well we've pulled it apart, definitely a blown head gasket Haha one of the pistons is nice and clean. I'll have everything inspected but the motor really doesn't look that bad. New head bolts and gaskets all around and we'll see what happens later on down the road
