Man Gerry and I got a lot done. For a 14 year old he sure hung in there.

Here's where we left it today.

I'm outa here for a week of golf, beer and food in Central Oregon, so you won't have to put up with pictures of everything we do.

When I get back I'm gonna start on a "Light it Off" party. Free beer and food. Hopefully a little bubbly.

Great stuff !!

Are you going to put it in the car to light the fire?
It would be worth it to come watch you sweat

Felt washer on flywheel??!! How important is that? I didn't put in the pilot bearing, but no washer.

That motor is disgustingly clean. I think you need to repack your CVs with moly lube barehanded so as to appease the grease / roadglue gods.

Lookin' awesome Dave. I'm sure all the care and detail going into your work will pay off nicely. That's definitely work to be proud of. Nice to know you're sharing the experience with your son. There aren't enough son's being raised these days.

The motor looks great Dave! I will certainly attend a fire off gala!!

I'm probably gonna light it off with carbs and open pipes. Not too many wires and lots of smoke and noise.

Posted by: red914 Sep 12 2004, 10:54 AM
