Amost there

I will be pushing the button tomorrow.
I worked on putting her back together today.

Pistons and jugs sure felt good getting them in


next was the head getting the cam chain back up through the jugs and head is a little never racking


The cam gear with the washers was no easy task.
All the oil fittings and cam shafts are installed.


here she is all buttoned up pheewww... now I don't have to worry about
dropping any thing down in the crank case.


I still have a few more things to put on but I will be pushing the button.
Tomorrows high is going to be 25 deg. figures.
Bill

Great job man! I love that feeling right before firing it off. Oh, and let's not forget the intial break-in run...it's like emotional overload. You don't know whether to be happy or worried

Let us know how that intial test ride went

Nice job Bill....the anticipation must be killing you. From my own personal experience...I'd recommend advancing the exhaust cam 1 tooth....




Just a suggestion while you have it apart...
