Doing well Jerry.
Having smiles with the Witch Doctor Engine Tune Ideas.
Some years back a feller showed me a set of Yosh. pistons (He paid $100.00 each) and when I read how a few grams of weight was removed to improve performance I smiled.
Those pistons had terribly rough d-burring bit marks all over the inside.
And to think all a person would need is to know the final weight and he would have Yosh. pistons. ............................lm

The documentary of the FORD PLANT shows a combustion area design used in the 30's through the mid 40's.
Brings to mind the phrase "Port and Relief" which was done to increase Power/Rpm's for racing.
All the work was done to the block and took lots of time to do as you did all 8 valve/cylinder areas. .........................lm

I stay in Stamford quite often, on business. Maybe we should meet up and compare notes some time.
