Pooh!!!!
They were supposed to have it ready by today (yesterday), and said they'd stay late to finish it - to expect it to be done by about 6:30-ish. At 6:30 they called with "good news and bad news":
The good news is they got the engine all back together and it runs GREAT - really smooth, really quiet, all the cylinders are firing, valves are adjusted "nuts-on"....
The "bad news" is it developed a crack in a part between the back of the block (or head - can't remember which) and the thermostat housing. Now, coolant sprays out when it runs. So ...... I can't have it back until they find a replacement for that part, or someone who can TIG weld that crack.
So the wait continues.....
