Joe,
I had Marvin machine a couple stovebolt blocks this last year, a 235 and a 261, which one I assembled and put in my 53 3100, the other went to a fellow stovebolter in northern cal. He also did a head for the 261.
I took him my pistons and he bored and then honed to fit them, the skirts clearances were spot on and the hone he uses sealed those cast rings in immediately. Really happy with his work there at the Bremerton machine shop. I had been using Bud over in Lakewood but the last few times he has been jammed up with work and seemed to take forever.
Anyway thanks for the info on Olsons, I'll have to go see them soon and see what they are working on.
Also, if you know of a dent free oil pan for a 305E please pm me, I'm trying to locate a few bits and pieces myself.

Steve
