Hello Allen,
Thank you very much for the kind works and complements of my work.
I enjoyed every minute during the 54 month project.  I also enjoy the chall=
enges involved with design and fabrication of special parts and components.=
 =20
The engine is out for a refresh after 19 race events and 5,500 miles of str=
eet use.=20
The car finished every lap of every session of every race weekend.  A perfe=
ct record. =20
I'm especially proud of that.  The crank and rod bearings looked as new.  T=
he crank has been crack checked and polished.  The valves and seats are bei=
ng refreshed. =20
Cheers,
Dave H.=20
