You're splitting hairs Charlie. You're right in the specific meaning. But in 'general' it means the removal of material to balance and bring to a specific specification an engine componant. As far as using the original blueprints I really did'nt know that. But let's be realistic. Who would order blueprints from Buick? Perhaps a race team that was being sponsored by them?

If one takes an OEM part and re-manufactors it, (by modifying), for better performance, this can also be considered 'blueprinting'. At least thats my understanding of it. Same thing machinist do with cylinder heads and the usage of 'Machinist Blue' dye. It also means port matching and an a host of other things too. So in response to you....we're both right.

IMO...You can't really do much, (blueprint), to the Buick oil pump though. :biggrin:

Well.......I got the blueprints for one of Aj's projects for him and we both have the blueprints for the stock block, Stage I, and stage II so I guess we're fanatics about getting things right.:biggrin:

Wow...... I can't see why on Earth you would need them, (except that perhaps you guys need Prozac).

Howard Huges was also a fanatic. Guess were that got him? :biggrin:

I can almost see the newspaper headlines:

Mad scientist Dr. Frankenstein and his eager assistant, Igor...I mean Charlie, attempt a low 10-second 'run' Buick at a local racetrack. Upon start-up, vehicle explodes and leaves behind a 10-foot wide crater.

Reports state that the young scientist and his trusty assistant 'Igor', (...I mean Charlie), were last seen running for the Mexican border quickly followed by an angy mob yielding pitchforks and battle axes...

:biggrin:

Yep, I gotta agree with you bud.:biggrin: BTW, the next "batch" should be done in about 8 weeks so I'll make sure you and the Erics get at least a gallon. The "altzimers" brew will kick you where it hurts the next morning.:biggrin:

Ok, hijack over now.:smile:
