BTW: Cory, when you go to reassemble the long block, you'll find that there are some crap bolts (one of the idler pulley bolts comes to mind) and some missing bolts (some small 10mm head bolts, and those two cam retainer bolts) in the box of stuff I gave you. I've got replacements for everything on order at Lithia, it'll be in on Thursday. If you want to cannibalize the parts from Matt's motor or something to keep from getting blocked on the build, you can give him the new stuff when I get it in.

Also, for the oil cooler, I've got a new o-ring for it and 3 new 90deg angle hoses for the water pipes. The old bits were getting kinda gross. I think the hoses are already in the box, the o-ring is a Thursday part.

The only thing that's probably time-critical is the stripped cam retainer bolt threading on one of the heads. I circled it with red marker and showed it to Kevin yesterday. Take a look to see if you think the thread can just be cleaned up. If not, Matt suggested sending it over to AIMS to get repaired.

Kevin since you're online more than Cory, can you pass this along to him if he hasn't seen it? Thanks guys!
