Im going to Darryl's tomorrow night to drop off a 12V with a friend and Ill straighten him out

the big plan..... Darryl comes down to do the cam... once installed he can cut the O-rings for the head and I should have everything I need to put it back together.... Polished parts will be done on Monday 4/14, but then a couple pieces will go to be chromed.. SOOOoooo if all goes well it should be back together in a day or two once the cam is put in. My luck he will come before the head is finished and Ill have to chase him around for the head to be o-ringed then Ill come across some unforeseen issues and it will delay me even more


Thats good you got the injectors!! You'll like them!! I hope you didnt have to pay any on the sticks... heck it was $30 bucks to ship em to you!!

I rolled the beast out of hibernation to power wash the engine... turned out pretty good, Now hopefully I wont be covered in oil every time I work on the darn thing.
