more stuff started coming in 10.5 cp pistons, eagle rods, crower springs and retainers, ferrea valves (1mm oversize) also an extra set of forged vitara pistons will probably be sold
piston and rods are used, the deal was good but not sure if its worth the gamble.
sleeved and semi closed deck engine block is next on order list

next up is ordering the block with MID sleeves

tonight we had time to start stripping the head, tomorow might see some cam clearancing testing.

i have never worn gloves and i have never had an issue due to the shit on my hands lo

and i have assembled quite a few engines in my day

The pulling trucks ate themselves faster than anything on my hands could ever do...

bingo lol

although i have built many that weren't abused and are still living long happyish healthy lives

I guess i've just never worried about it to be honest. I'm sure it's a plausible statement but how much are we talking about? A stock rebuild going 190k vs 200k?

If that's the case, the shit is long out of my hands before that. You can label me a hack for that one. I'll accept.

i prefer being called a hack, just means i have less people asking me to do shit, especially for free
