Nice! :P

Your boiling water trick worked like a champ and I was able to make an "installer" to help things out too. Went on with no problem, then I degreed it with a borrowed wheel and made new marks on the pulley. This should work out okay.

I'd say this is a decent build motor but it isn't a Sam Neeve motor or anything like that. Port work is extremely conversative, header is not optimal, but it does have all new hardware - pistons, valves, springs, and some good rings and good setup with the bearings and machine work. A friend of ours did the bottom end assembly and he does a nice job.

So I hope that even if it doesn't make a ton of power it'll do the important thing - keep me racing without having to work on motors!!!!!!!!!!! I just need seat time!!

I'll get it on a chassis dyno and post results in a couple of weeks. I do want to tune it before doing much else with the car.
