    I'm much closer to being done than I was.

    Proper attention in prep work is time consuming but makes the job easier once you actually start it. This seems to be true for any mechanical assy. Looks like you have things well in hand.

    Nothing was done yesterday because of the snow storm that hit us. Today I got by the shop and did a little bit.
    Now what I didn't realize is that the o-rings on the valley tray didn't come with the valley cover gasket I bought. The search for those pesky bastards began. I was surprised to find that all of the dealers I talked to only stocked 2 o-rings. I understand not having a lot of room, but if you're going to replace two you should replace all of them. Anywho the part number for them is: 12610160. It looks like the Fel-Pro kit that Speed Inc sells comes with the o-rings. I ended up order 8 from the dealer and calling it a day.
    Once the valley cover was installed with the new o-rings it was time to tackle the balancer. I made a mistake and forgot to put the accessory pulley on with the hub, so it had to be removed.
    Fortunately for me, I had the GM balancer install tool so I assembled the balancer and used the tool to push it on.

    That was the end of my day in the shop.
    Tomorrow I will be in the cylinder head room finishing up porting the cylinder heads.

    The suspense is killing me! I'm hoping the little bit of work that I have left will go by in no time. It is very possible that next week I could be starting this thing up for the first time.
