Dumbo The Flying Elephant

[Larry Hill]

I have all the main studs assigned and checked for Bullet nose contact. While making protective bearings from old main bearings I noticed an aluminum bearing that all of the aluminum was worn away it was difficult to see at first glance but steel and aluminum are almost the same color. A pocket knife can tell the difference. Block is ready to go to the car wash to be cleaned before installing gaskets and honing plates. Before we have it honed we will check ring gap and bore size and tension of oil ring.
