Primed and ready to drop on. Unfortunately late in the game we realized that while someone decked the heads to provide a nice sealing surface for the tops of the cyls they neglected to maintain the distance between the surface around the bottom of the heads. It made any hope for sealing the heads impossible. This meant that we had to hand surface them on a deck plate till they fit. I forget the exact measurement but it was enough I don't want to do it again. However it was some bizarre foreshadowing for the next flat six i wound up building for my 914.

Trans getting close to being finished and closed up at this point also. I really was concerned about my ability to rebuild the transmission but it actually turned out great.
I re freshed all the bushings in the factory shift linkage and its working very well at this point.
