This picture was taken when the engine was first disassembled after I bought it. It is showing the difference between the 48x38 that were in it and stock valves -- we were debating having Jeff do his 52x42 ? mods to the heads but eventually decided against it--- there were some modifications done before reassembly

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Fired it up to play with the tuning and heard a death rattle at start up. It went away as soon as the oil pressure came up, BUT, I was already reaching over to shut it off ----- when you hear the rattle, it is time disassemble  --- Well with all the BS with the fuel system and other chit I guess I should of expected this...

I'm putting the bitch in the garage and covering it up with crap for a few weeks,

This morning getting ready to pull it off the trailer in the rain



These small ass seats will have to go -- talk about a wedgie when I'm trying to set in there



dash --- It's not to bad considering it has set for a long time -- just needs a boost gauge LOL
