Guess that explains why it takes so long to get a head back from the shop.
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 then
I 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.![]()
