It already has been a while.. engine block is still at the machine shop, lifter bores, oil passages restricting, crank polishing and so on…
and I play with the pretty stuff…
Reworked the oil pan…
definitely one of one.. I know overkill.. again…
nobody sees it.. but I know its there..
the drain plug sticking out was just not acceptable - and a bit of cleaning up..
and I replaced the NPT thread on the side drain with a metric machine threaded boss.. NPT drain plug in aluminum.. stupid.. each time you make an oil change half a thread of aluminum is showing up..
