When people told him that paint under timing covers wasn't good, he wanted to sand the block's face - everybody reeled. His destructive ambitions have advanced since then, now he wants to... sandblast. Because it works for trailers. Without an overwhelming consensus, he IS going to do what he wants to do (even if it's ill-conceived).

Mikes reply:
Yes, I have been fixing the mistakes that my predecessor made over the past ten years.
Not to call you a liar, But I did not sand the Block face, after getting told not to.
Destructive ambitions?
There is a difference in not knowing how to do something in the Auto world, when it differs from construction, but I am learning.
I experiment at times, so I learn, why are you being so negative toward Mike anyway? What side of the bed did you wake up on or is that you are old and crampy? Whatever it is, I don't want you to spoil my Thread with negative statements that don't make yourself look smart. I insist that you encourage me so that I will be ready to build this motor the correct way while learning a ton of new information. Remember you have been dealing with the Automotive industries since the model Tee was in vented and you have forgotten more than Mike has learned. Now balk about the change from first person to the second, or get back on track and teach me something, please.
Mike is listening and learning and enjoying the Hobby, don't ruin it for him.
