In the mean time i got my connecting rod pins welded up and my crank phased and sent the jugs out for nikasil. Fast forward a bit and i installed the engine and added vforce reeds. I then got it running an finished a few odd ends

p4pb6084473.jpg


And i found the culprit

p4pb6147991.jpg

p4pb6147995.jpg

p4pb6148000.jpg


Then i bought a new crank with the big bearing upgrade for $700 and replaced all the gaskets and the god forsaken water pump belt. I just cleaned up the pistons and head and ported the oil ports for the big bearing.

Then gotter running great!!, she pulled better than ever.
p4pb6148000.jpg


then me and my friend starting going bigger and i half landed in his apex's crater and got sideways and double bounced 10 more ft, I ended up nailing the running board and snapping the reverse leaver leaving a inch wide hole in my knee. It ended my season in march and put me off work for 2 mths

And i drilled all the rivets and sanded them lightly then sprayed em with duplicolor's sandable primer, it seems too bond really well.
p4pb7244551.jpg


Then i used duplicolor primer sealer its good and makes the paint stick too the primer better.
p4pb7244560.jpg


Then the final coat of semigloss

p4pb7244565.jpg

p4pb7244571.jpg

p4pb7244581.jpg


Nearly finished.

p4pb7249446.jpg

p4pb7249451.jpg


I removed the exhaust and did some painting and polishing, aswell as inspected the chaincase and found the primary gear nut was loose. I used some silicon too hoping to seal the leak
