Baking, blasting, crack checking block; resizing rods for Cadillac 365 | Redline Update #73

Davin gives an update on the status of the various bits and pieces of our projects laying around the shop. Then he heads off to Thirlby Machine Shop to check in on the progress of the Cadillac 365 V8 heads and block. The grimy and rusty cast iron cleaned up nicely after a good bake and bead blast, but what will the verdict be on the overall condition of these integral pieces of our project? Any cracks? Will the cylinders clean up at .030“ over?
