Rick Drewry: All right. Day three. July 13th. Easy day! Basically, I ended up honing the cylinder walls, and honing the lifter bores as well, and just cleaned them up.
There was a tiny bit of hash marks … Not hash marks, scoring marks, and it was minimal. And after I honed it really quickly, they basically went away. So, they got cleaned up really good and we’re in good shape.
I went through and honed all the cylinders and the lifter bores, and cleaned them all up. Oiled those down really heavy with WD-40 and then wiped them down. They’ll be good to go, and now I move on to the can bearings. That’ll be next!
