Wow, that's some pretty rough casting...I would have believed you if you told me my engine was completely #$%*ed. And yes, got that piece out of there right after taking the picture. GOOD EYE!

Taking a break on the Disco for 4th of July Festivities, but will be resuming soon!

Happy 4th everyone!

 

Coscast blocks have clean ports on the valley pan, as stated yours are normal for a stock block.

ill shoot a photo later of a coscast block.

 

Not a great pic, but here's the gutty works of my block in Feb for comparison. Not exactly tight specs in there.

 

Wow, yeah I see what you mean. Looks really bad at first glance. I'm off on a vacation so I don't get to work any more on the rover until the end of the month. Thanks for the photo!
