So, I think this has been an excellent sales brochure for Jake.

Too bad I don't want to build any more (R- Series) than what I've already got on the books. SUMEBore development is just about to consume my entire existence, as I have to build and test 4 more engines.
I'd never have my employees build an engine that takes this level of detail, they'd become suicidal if they spent 4 weeks assembling one single engine.

All in a week's work... The heads just came back from thermal dispersant coating, so I'll get them back together at the beginning of the week, and probably have a long block finished by the end of the day next Friday...

My trick sealant will have to cure a little more, so I can peel int off first.. :-)

I build engines for The REVs Institute, so quite a few end up in a museum.

They look a lot different, though..

Never fear... I'm making a run of 3, R- Series coffee tables now. R40, R43 and R44. Red, Black, and silver..
The blocks are out for powder coat now, and they'll have a super nice tempered glass top, with unique etching.

I'm guessing the first person to put their feet on one of those coffee tables will get run over by a tank! Rightfully so.

That's pretty cool, I have a block and heads set aside for a "man cave coffee table" too Had the plans for years just haven't got around to it.

I did half of my "man cave end tables" yesterday ,holds a 997 Turbo Wheel "under glass"
