Crank bearings look brand new. Rod bearings have wear to the copper layer but that's expected. All cam and crank journals are perfect. Off to machine shop soon.

Block and head with new valve seals are at the machine shop. 1-3 weeks. Parts list being started. Will need roof wrap removed when this is over. Planning to get it painted metallic black. Same to mirror caps.
