Interesting column and photos

Great story. Did it end on the page with the pressure testing, or was there more somewhere else that

I missed?

I too wasn't sure if that was the end of the story or not. Hope it holds up for them. Sometimes the problem with repairing blocks and heads is a subsequent disparity in temperature related expansion and contraction between the new metal and the old metal.


Hopefully, Chuck will let us know. The same thing happened with the first installment. I kept
flipping through pages, but couldn't find any more. I wish they'd put..."To be continued" or
something at the end - or "Continued on page xx" if there's more.
