Rod sent the block out to be cooked. We couldn't get all the spot leak out.  :eek4:

Good news!  So glad you're able to get the engine compartment done while you're in there.  Spring's coming!

Good to hear you're going for it on paint in the engine compartment. It'll make a big difference on your smile guage when everythings all done.
