    :rofl: Apparently amateurs autocorrected to armatures. Clearly, I am still not good at proofreading. Mrs. Williams my High School English teacher would be disappointed.

    I'm a fairly decent speller, but I've ALWAYS had trouble with 'amateur'.

    I've always hated auto correct especially when I write using English spellings.
    On topic it's good to see that the fury's issue looked to be an expired original shim gasket, I know a few racers who will re-shellac and use the old shim gaskets for an extra point or two of compression as long as they're in still in good condition.

    It was quite the relief indeed. We bought a full gasket set from Fel-Pro, so that's what will be going back in the car. Hopefully we'll get back to work on it this weekend.

    Last night I began preparing to repaint the stuff that’s going back on. I realized that I was almost out of tape, so I did not get the heads taped off.

    But at least we made some progress.
