Hot tip if you've never had housings lapped before: get 'em hot-tanked after. Then clean the living hell out of them by hand until they pass "white-glove."

If you don't get all (as in ALL) the abrasives out of all the channels and passages, it ends up in your oil the first time you fire it up, and your new seals will last about an oil change.

You can't get those suckers too clean. Stuff ends up in the pores of the casting; scrub and rinse 6 times and you'll still be wiping it off what looks like clean iron.

Don't ask how I know.

a doctor, lawyer and a banker went to a strip joint. after this blond chick did her thing, the

doctor pulled out his wallet and placed a $100 on her g-string. there goes the lawyer with his $20. banker dude pulled out his ATM card, swiped it in her crack and took the $100 and the $20.
