Pay the $60... I like pros to do my brakes usually too. It's the only thing that's stopping you hit stuff

I wholeheartedly agree.

I guess I'd pay someone else as well if I hadn't done them before it's easy to say have a go( my bad) I'm just used to doing them is all, but with brakes it's a bit different to doing a oil and filter change.
Great build by the way 🍻

Got my block back from the Machine Shop.

Bored, Honed & Decked 40 thou oversize.

I Primed and painted the block Satin Black yesterday. Came out nice.

Did you wash the bores with soapy water and/or use high pressure wash?
just checking...

I used degreaser and a pressure washer to wash down the block where it was to be painted. I also throughly washed out the water galleries. I did avoid the bores though. I did give the bores a wipe out and I've re oiled the bores and face for now to prevent rust.

When I go to assemble it, I'll give it a full wash down with the soapy water. Shouldn't effect the already painted surface.

c'mon Keep it clean please!
Are you going for the A12 crank or A14 hybrid internals?

Standard internals.

forgot

The custom EFI manifold by Buffalo? very trick bit of gear
cheap as chips too!

Certainly is a "Buffalo" manifold that I will be using. Not sure exactly who made it but it was sourced a few years ago from a South African seller.
