476 has a problem that many engines have developed over time, the cylinders are working in the frame. For those not familiar this means that with each stroke of the pistons the casting moves back and forth in the frame rails. As nice as it would be to see the 476 back in service this year, dont hold your breath. The roundhouse crew has had a very busy winter getting the 473, 478, 480, 481, 482 and 486 into top shape for the upcomming season.
Thanks
Josh
