I farm out the decking, cylinder bore/hone, the crank turn/polish and the five angle valve job.

From there, every engine gets the white glove assembly treatment including pictures and log book. Every measurement, part number and cost is recorded. I put a code on the oil pan rail so I know if I've worked on the motor before.
