Well not a good night guys, after talking to my professor he said to send the milodon Studs back and call ARP to get the windage tray bolts. ( They where not inlcuded in the 4 bolt splayed main stud kit) There was a difference in tensile strength and 65vs 80 ft lbs torque! Then come to find out they are redoing the ventilation system and they turned off the gas to out hot washers and baking oven. 
So i plan on getting the block all cleaned up next week and prep for machining.

ARP windage tray bolts and nuts came in today $25
My plan for tonight in the machine shop is to get the block baked, into the pressure washer, magnafluxed, and possibly cut the splayed caps in.

Baked the block at 700 degees for 45 minutes
The block comes out with ash all over it. All grease and oil is gone.
It will go into the pressure washer tomorrow and get magnufluxed for cracks.
