Hesitate to jump in here, but +1 on Dennis' post. I guess there are points both ways here, but the value of this forum is shared experience - so we don't repeat, or manage to avoid mistakes.
Henry with 400 engine builds beats me by about 396. So I greatly value the contribution by guys like Henry who freely share their experience. Experience being the key word here.
Henry has something that works for him - time and time again. So it will probably work for others also. There may be other options/alternatives, and if others choose to go another path, so be it. But I don't think castigating someone for not ditching a tried system that works, for some other plausible option gets us very far.
I've seen very valued experts having their shared thoughts torn up on these boards before, and choose not to post. Easier to ignore the forum and get on with what pays the bills. Hopefully guys like Henry will continue to share with us, and if others have another view, post it. But if it works for 400 engine builds, surely we can accept it is a viable useful technique at least in this specific instance (and thanks for sharing it).
