Just got off the phone with Seth @ ERL.

They got the block last week and they have it inspected and ready to go.

So ERL is checking my old crank out that was still in the block, they doubt its worth saving as the one journal is really F'd up...but hey if they could fix it i could sell it for a few hundred profit, worth a looking. The rod that had the spun bearing is getting replaced for sure, ERL said it couldn't be replaced and to me its not worth trying to fix and I didn't want to risk it. They are going to check the other 3 rods but they said they should be fine.

So gave em the CC number and its paid for now and ready to go. Checking with AMS now on my new pistons that hopefully are done or will be done this week. And hopefully ERL can get it pumped out pretty quickly and I get to move on...yay!

edit: I asked about the oil squirters and they said they will try to modify to make them work or just plug them if the modifications don't work. I am leaning towards just having them plugged but I will leave it up to them, they are the experts...my only line of thought was with them plugged maybe my chain when it stretches doesn't rape the squirter..not sure if thats a big deal even.
