It's reassuring to know that there are others out there with this OCD tendency...

Yeah, I gotta admit that I get a weird sense of satisfaction out of cleaning up old crusty fasteners and then threading them back in by hand. I sometimes think that my Lang thread restorer set might be the most used set of tools in my garage. Lots of memories of wrenching with my dad when he was still around. He often assumed the role of the garage sous chef and would spend all afternoon wire brushing and laying out hardware for me to reinstall.

yes there is, I bought a sand blast cabinet over 10 years ago then I use the caswell black oxide on them, there is a learning curve on that stuff too. If the threads aren't stretched or worn, I reuse them.

well I'm back been busy with regular work, good news I can a few more parts now. Just got my stroker kit last week. Doing some final cleaning and checking. Matching up the weights of the reciprocating assembly within .7 gram, pretty happy with CNC motorsports. threw the cam specs in there again, wrote on the back with marker oops. John is going to stop by this weekend to help installing the four corner pistons without the rings and crank to establish deck height
