Not much, I got sent out to a customers site about 5 hours from home at their request, then I spent 4 days sitting in a hotel awaiting permission to enter their plant. It never came so I am back home.
I did get the old timing chain off, cleaned up the block & valve covers. And moved it out of the shop and brought my Father car back into the shop to start pulling the Buick 350.
I have never torn down a late 400 before, surprised to see a baffled oil pan. I am used to the pre 1976 engines with the short windage tray, and non baffled oil pan. Not the other way around. Also odd to see oil drippers only on the center rocker arms attached to the valve covers. Was this only because of the shared exhaust ports? These late Pontiac 400 are very different than what I am used to!
But that is where it has sat for the last 2 weeks. Hope to get back at it this weekend.
