If I don't get the engine back soon I'm going to lose my mind. It's already half way gone as it is. The bearings were suppose to come in today and I'm suppose to get the bottom end back tomorrow. But I just had a doctor's appointment and I have to take a LOT of medication, so if I do get the block back tomorrow, I won't even be able to be there to pick it up.

Yeah, I'm leaving that up to Case to figure out for me. I'm not up to doing that myself now. But some good news, the bottom end is getting picked up today.

I ordered reman heads from Advance Auto. Only the one head was cracked, between the valves, which could not be fixed. There was the option of getting one reman and letting Pharro work the other good one and they would have it for another 2 weeks, or just get 2 reman heads and be done with Pharro. I opted to just be done with that place. They're getting the final payment tomorrow and Case is picking up the heads and valves for me and that's it. Work on the bottom end will probably start Sunday, I should have the heads either Saturday or Monday. I couldn't tolerate that place anymore, so I'm done with this damn build and waiting on them. The block is pretty, but they didn't acid wash it. Pics will be posted when I get them.
