Awesome.
What material is he using for the bushings?
Very cool Steve. I don't blame you. I'd be sharing it too. I know you're proud of him.
Man, you guys know your ****! 
I really like the BHJ system of truing up an engine block. I’m definitely a fan of bushing the lifter bores to correct geometry in a high level engine.
Usually they are made out of leaded or aluminum bronze.
Yes and there are different grades. As Ampco18 is way softer than Ampco 21. Ampco being a manufacturer’s material name.
I'll get some more pics and info tomorrow. He is a member and does frequent this site. He just stays to himself. Right now he is working with a Viper collector/race car owner. They are experimenting with heads. He is well know by Subaru and EVO shops. Some of them that come here are pretty wild. Those Mitsubishi's make some serious power
What did your son cut that main hoop with, an acetylene torch?

Very old car with rust inside the cage. Welded the old rusty cage with a Propane torch and coat hangers. I believe the hangers were labeled bubblicious . The welder was a hand held little blue tank. The same kind you used Richard. The car passed tech. We use that same welder for Solder, Brass, Aluminum, Steel, and Cast iron, You were right about the little blue tanks being cheaper at Walmart. Thanks for the advice.What did your son cut that main hoop with, an acetylene torch?
He was using the little blue propane tank again today," The one you told me about ". He soldered another Hemi. I hope the Wrigley's gum holds up.Uh, what's that you were saying about bubblegum welds on my k-member about 6 months ago? LOL. Tell your son to put the welder down and stick to machining.
