You are a "Steeley Eyed Missile Man". I wish you luck and I agree, sell the fix to the MoCo! Maybe they will name one of the new models the "Stonecold"

Looks good. Did you by any chance put an indicator on the nuts sealing surface to check run out?
It seems to me that the cost for the mod could be cut some since some tooling has been made on the first run.

Looks good, but what's with all that pink fluid? If that's already over in the primary, its going to take a good washing to get it out of there.

I think it was a one off with no tooling made.

Yes there has been probably a pint in the primary. I'm going to pull the primary cover and clean it. I have an AIM system I want to install before we do the cam tests. I will pull the plates out and clean them also.

Looks like red line shockproof.

As far as the cover goes, I would think that the machinist would put a couple holes in a pallet to hold the cover.. A better way would be to use the cover locating pins. Then once set up it would tale less then 15 minutes for each process. The setup / tear down, I would think, should be about 1 hour. Doing 20 sets should drop the price considerably.
I would have thought that the shop would have single point threaded a piece of 1 inch steel to the 3/4-16 and used it to cut the sealing surface centered on the threads.. I'm curious as to how close he got it. Seems to me that it would be the easiest way to grab the nut.. How tall was the nut you used?

The length of the nut was .570". A quarter inch was left as hex. Seemed to work out well.
