got the 975 TM3 assembled today..

apparently im missing one of the long cylinder bolts..so ordered one of them..

also 2 of the 4 MAG side exhaust valve housing bolt threads are stripped out, so need to fix that..nothing major...just a minor set back is all.

i have been waiting for Witchhunter (injector testing company) to get back from vacation so i can send them the injectors to clean/flow test/rebuild...they were closed from Feb 1st-Feb 15th...so after those are done, i will install the motor.

I assembled the skid as well, its ready to be installed...

just need to install skid, get longer fuel lines for the trail tank pump, R&R the nose/fender plastic thats broken and install motor and ill be done.

so after the 900 Cooke City ride next week, i will get cracking on this baby and hopefully get it done, and test ran before Revy so i can bring it there as well. ;)

thats dirt cheap! I will pick up some extras off e-bay and have them done for my sleds. thats pretty cheap insurance for such a vital component.

small update on this.

--3 of the cylinder head threads on the MAG side cylinder are stripped out (from prior owner) so i am going to go with head studs..

--waiting for cash to send the pistons to swains tech coatings for the dome/skirt coating (about $100 total) and assemble the engine...AGAIN

--my ice age rails are at the powder coaters now getting coated in Glass Black...being done as a favor, so should get that back this week..

--going to powder coating alot of things bright red on the skid and throughout the sled (small parts) to get a little color on this baby...

--need to finish trail tank mod/install and assemble sled after powder coating and i should be good to go.

also hung out with Derek Fischer when I was in Utah over the 4th of July, he has a Carls 975 complete sled for sale (PM for details if your interested) that runs on pump gas...derek did a custom cut on the 975 head and with his Gen 3.5 fuel controller its a RIPPER, so since i have 2 975 heads, i will send him one to get cut for pump fuel...otherwise its a 50/50 Avgas/pump gas mix...which can get $$.
