I am enbarking on an engine rebuild - doing a RAT 2270.
I've been taking detailed pictures and posting them here. So far I've take it all apart. Now I'm doing lots of cleaning and ordering parts (and waiting for them to show up). Enjoy! teaser: Attached image(s) |

I got to do a little work this weekend on my project. I've done the oil galley plug update (I'm tryin' to do this right, Greybeard!) and started cleaning the case halves.
Now I just need to spend some time scrubbing the other case half (it's pretty boring work - standing in the laundry room with half an engine in the utility sink...) Anyhow, here's the link! Oh, Jake, will you give me some advanced notice before the heads ship? I'd like to add new valve keepers and those head nuts you recommend replacing to the order (and maybe cylinder shims, too). |

New valve keepers (ground) are included with our heads, as well as all new hardware... |
