Chuck said (and I appreciate it...) cut the piston domes... but they're flat
tops.

Of course I never start a motor building project in the late fall or
winter...

This year I had shoulder surgery (rotator cuff) Feb 20, so that blew the
hell out of workin' on the car thru the spring,

and then I dropped $10k on a new roof and driveway...

and since my inkjet printer doesn't print good enough money to fool the
Secret Service... I had to start this project in mid-July. As I've said
before, I am doing 3 motors this time... a back up, and a back up for my
back up (reminds me of a Firesign Theater line about the Redundancey Dept.).
