    Guess that explains why it takes so long to get a head back from the shop.

    Sweden tuning

    That is budget building at its bestthe only thing missing is the shade tree. I love the part about stapling the sand paper to the block and running the head back and forth across thenI guess that is how you get the cross hatch pattern on the head surface.

    O_o this kind of reminds me of how they used to hand finish babbitt bearings.

    For their next trick you'll see someone "flycutting" their head with a hand tool!

    I cut my teeth on scraping poured babbitt bearings! An old flathead six-cylinder Hudson 'Terraplane' motor we raced in a Midget on dirt tracks.

    Did the block top and head surface with a real 'block file' though!

    Just goes to show that with enough beer ... and a woman watching ... guys will do anything.
