Seriously, though, this has to be one of the best documented processes of a build I have ever seen. The attention to detail in the documentation is nothing short of stellar.
Kudos to Devin for his huge contribution to the collective knowledge of the board, in the way he is documenting this.

Grippy, Congrats on the new motor, I admire thatyou have been very particular in not cutting corners with your build. I cant say the same for myself. I dont think i could/will ever be that particular b/c im not as patient. For that i applaud you. Hats off to you and everybody who helped you. Now get that puppy on the road and blow those tires off.

I also had a great time just hanging out, shooting the **** and assisting where I could. I was seriously playing catch-up the whole damn time!
I guess there's something to be said for experience. I especially appreciated your meticulous attention to detail, I know first hand this engine is built right!
All you guys up there are top drawer. I couldn't ask for a better set of friends
