Thanks David- yes I did know to watch out for wear on that front grease channel. It does have some but nothing inhibitive of its function. My rear “cup” on the head looks pretty good. Chris looked at it while he was in town and was surprised. I do not know how much aft play it has as I did not check it. Still waiting to get to grandpas press, as time permits, so may put it back together with original parts and check. May go ahead and rebuild and assess once all new parts are in. I will let you guys know.

Been looking at my ignition drop assembly. Trying to get it off. Rebuilt kit from renners does not include a replacement for the “pinch bolt” that I can tell and either way it will need to slide off the top or bottom of the shaft. My question is, how do you get this off? Drop the steering box, remove horn rod, remove steering wheel? Or is there supposed to be an easier way? I have not had much luck on the forum or internet or my intuition on how to get this solo for rebuild and I want to avoid drilling unless I have to.

Got the tank primed and painted, did some cleaning on water pump, fuel sending unit, and put an eye on all brake rod pivot points (checked for play with no one at the pedal) they all look good but the test will be putting someone (likely grandpa) to pumping the pedal.

Small moves while engine is away at the model T/A/B block whisperer. Wish I could show you guys the crazy projects he has going on in there. Blew my mind what he could do to a T engine.

Hope as is well and everyone’s keeping cool, we had ~104 actual temp today. Hot by anyones standards!
