Hello xhall,
As I predicted earlier, this has been a great instructional post
on the work you have done, with good photos and video.
What this rebuild has taught me, if anything, is that a lot of meticulous effort, time, money, tools and parts are needed to restore a beat-up, run-down, rusty, small, 30+ yr old engine to its former glory.
I think you have been duly rewarded with the result, though.
I think that original quote for re-boring was over-the-top.
So what's next?--------------------------------
