Banshee, there ARE some folks here like me that haven't delved too deep into engine blocks. If this thread is too slow for you then just ignore it and post your responses elsewhere.

I pick up the engine hoist from HF tonight! I'll do a little more engine tear-down this weekend and post some pics. This is sure to irritate Q and Banshee, so look forward to it!
