BORING

We are learning to bore engines.  We use old stock car blocks  that have blown engines or have cracks in them, thus allowing us to make mistakes.  The engines are given to us by Gary Johns, a  stock and drag car engine builder, who is famous around here.   Not only does he gives us engines, but he shares engine building tips from the pros, that are priceless.  

Gary Johns

Gary owns a stock car track in GA and offered us pit passes so we can watch the teams and how they operate.  Way Cool!!
