Finished building a crate to ship the crank back to Moldex for repairs.
Head is at the welding shop awaiting TIG'ing to close the massive hole in the water jacket.
Machined new aluminum plugs to press in over the retaining bolts of the magnesium segments when I reattach them to the repaired crank.
Started plugging all oil passages that served cylinders 2 & 3.
Degreased the engine compartment of the lakester.
Plumbed a setup to pressure test the head for coolant leaks after it's welded.
