Or, in other words, where is a first time engine builder most likely to go wrong?

Good morning.
Came across this while doing more research - thought I’d post it for other first timers like me who are curious. http://www.ephotomotion.com/914engine/index01.html Back to my question on the bottom end - it would seem that unless you are 100% sure the bottom end is fresh it is false economy to not split the case and make sure. Yes? Thanks! |
