up here, Canadian Tire sells an alarm system that calls me on my cell ( gives me time to load the rifle) $65 with 1 motion sensor all wireless and addtional sensors are $20 with a 1000 ft range from the base and Walmart sells a great little pressure washer for less that $100 (1400 psi) and it works great for cleaning up stains on the concrete!!!!

buttoned up the short block tonight , good thing I had a set of -.001 ,std & +.001 rods and mains on the shelf and have a lath as the comp cam journals were .002 larger than any of my crane cams ( and their a bitch to polish down) she's set at .003" on the rods and mains with .008 for endplay, .008 on the pistons to bore , and .0025 on the cam journals

Frank: That small base circle cam is about the skinniest cam I've ever seen (LOL)! Is that required due to the big arm on your stroker crank? That's gonna be one nasty mofo, I can't wait to see the dyno numbers!

Small base circle for getting that 1" of lift. I have a .965 lift cam that has no base circle also. Cool
