more bad news.

Well I'm starting to get my engine all organised to go back to together and am organizing all my parts etc so that it can get bolted together and back on the road.

Thanks to Keith Craft for next to NO ASSISTANCE. So much for using a reputable engine builder with a written warranty.

I decided given some of the issues that I have had with this Cammer that I would have everything crack tested and replace everything new because I wasn't happy with what I saw when the engine came apart.

My crank and rods and all rocker gear tested fine. I'm replacing all of the pistons because I don't want to risk any potential failures with gudgeon stress from valves hitting piston heads.

Big day of disappointment yesterday when the crack test of my heads revealed they are nothing but POS.

Thinking the Coyote might be cheaper then fixing this
