Looks like George (wrenchbender) will be doing a seminar on HEI systems and then help me with a basic engine rebuild demo/discussion.
I'll have a doner engine block and hopefully all the tools to disassemble the block and then the tools to do the inspections on the cylinders, pistions, ring gap and how to read micrometers.
If we have time, we can also get into checking bearing clearances.
I'll have a lot of tools and we'll just play it by ear on what direction it goes.
It may just turn into a tool discussion and tool use.
Hope to set up in the parking lot by the river and start ripping things apart Saturday, mid morning.
I'll try to post the tool list later this week after I get the doner moter out of the truck.

Hands on participation by everyone is expected. Or just bring a lawn chair.

I'm more of a machinist than mechanic (shade tree) and all input is welcome.
Also John wants to learn more about thread repair and we can get into that as I have a nice tap and die set.

Thanks
Don
