My project is raging at snails pace….so much thread evaporated.
Seems parts acquisition only progress. Latest stung a bit but that’s how it goes. The set I sold for $850 a mere and distant memory. Opened box just to touch them.   |

This was today……
 I was looking back at this thread and “we are ready to build engine” was in December…. but as we all know shut happens especially when youre not the actual builder. He started a brother in law project and when rods were measured the big ends had to be resized……..Didn’t take long but went to back of the line. The crank/rods were assembled and found we got one wrong IMS bearing and a missing roll pin. Since my number for Weber restoration isn’t until November I guess there is no urgency.i guess this is how months turn into years! |
