Looking good Bill! Are you all caught up with the build thread so what we are seeing is in "real" time?
Keep those parts well lubed. Tight fitting bores in aluminum have a nasty tendency to gall and become permanent when you least expect it.

Yes Tom, all caught up and you are seeing day to day now. 10-4 0n the lube. I use Crisco for this, yes the one the wife uses in the kitchen.

Yes, this is where we slow a little. Some days I work at it, others I don't.

Sorry Dave, life decided to get in the way. When you have six kids and five grandchildren you never quite know what to expect from one day to the next. Thanx for checking up on me, we will be starting again very soon.
