THEY WERE REMOVED FROM BIG BLOCK 390 AND HAD A HIGH GLOSS SHINE. UNFORTUNATLY I SPRAYED THEM WITH A CAN OF CLEAR COAT AND THE MOSTURE PENATRATED THRU. THAT WHITE CHALK IS WHAT YOUR SEEING IN PICTURE. THEY NEED TO BE STRIPED AND REPOLISHED. PRIOR TO THAT THEIR WAS NO HEAVY PITTING, CRACKS OR BUSTED FINS. THE 390 WAS IMBOSSED 1/16 DEEP.

Honda readies its jet airplane -- for real this time
Thu, 22 May 2014Honda would like to remind you that while journalists have spent the last few years fretting whether the Big H has "lost its way," the company has quietly launched, shelved, resurrected, and all but waited out its plan to dominate the business-jet skies, which we are to assume are less friendly than United's. The HA-420 HondaJet has been kicking around for more than 10 years now, but the very first production-ready plane just rolled off the assembly line in Greensboro, N.C., this week -- and, Honda promises, the $4.5 million business jet should be delivered in the second quarter of next year. Honda began taking orders for the jet in 2006, but the long recession squashed the market for private jets.

Nissan GT-R tweaked for 2009 with more power
Tue, 09 Dec 2008By Ben Pulman Motor Industry 09 December 2008 11:30 The Nissan GT-R still hasn’t gone on sale in Europe and it's already been treated to a few tweaks - new for 2009 will be more power, revised suspension, different wheels and tyres, plus a price hike. Quite, but the increase is a mere 5bhp, taking the output of Nissan's 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 from 473 to 478bhp. Nissan says the extra grunt comes from the fine tweaking of the electronics, though torque remains unchanged at 432lb ft.
