Hey Val, good to hear from you. How are things down in that hot, dusty desert?
The motor was together and running, for awhile. Turns out that I was sent 10.5:1 compression pistons when I ordered 9.5:1's, and the result was some severe detonation. I've got it torn down again, awaiting parts with which to repair it. Hopefully in the next week or two. And hopefully I don't get sent out of country again any time soon.
Oh, by the way (so as to not totally hijack Wolfe's thread) I did pick up some invaluable tips on concours prep from the Mexican cab drivers...
