motor torn down. I am now waiting on the snow to clear so I can get to the machine shop.

bores are perfect, two pistons are shot, real sloppy.

Nice start! I like that you're tackling the rust and engine issues first, rather than last...

motor at the machine shop.

going to be a .020 over stock rebuild.

I was hoping the crank would be ruined so I could build a 4.5 stoker, but it was not meant to be.

hope to have the short block built in a few days.

1. I'm jealous of that wood stove
2. I'm curious to see how those sliders turn out.
