That two weeks turned into six months when I found that the motor required overhall... The joys of the toys...

Well it had to do with who ever built the motor didn't clay the piston to valve relief's and advanced the cam 4*. I was able to salvage the block, crank, rods, heads and that is about it. All new with a hydraulic cam. I'm almost to the point that I can put it back in. I just need to figure out the pilot bearing and I'll be good to go..

Back on the road! Spent today cleaning the ole girl up. She looks like a new penny now. I've got about 100 miles on the new motor and all is good!
