lol,

well, i accomplished NOTHING this weekend.......


and i plan to accomplish even less as this weekend as it will be my B-day party Saturday and recovery/naps Sunday

but the block will get dropped off at the machinist this week sometime so when i get it back i can measure for bearing sizes.

glad to hear this. glad to see progress. love it man.

Hot tanking occurs before any work is done. Its mainly so they dont gum up their machines, and to clean out the coolant passages. But if you arent having any metal milled off...

im having it hot tanked mainly to have the coolant passages cleaned out and so i have a clean surface for paint to adhere to

and thanx for the birthday wishes, from the sounds of it a couple of my friends have a whopper of a day scheduled....


im a little scurd...

big day today!!


for 2 reasons


A. its my birthday! so booze and good times will be had

B. im dropping the KA off with the machinist, about $500 later and ill have a completely rebuild KA!!!


then i can out this bad boy back together, pull the L motor(which will be FS) and drop the KA in place





big milestone

The machinist is gunna:
deck the head and block
polish the crank
balance the bottom end
rework the cyl head and set the adjustments
hot tank everything
hone the cylinder walls
and order me rings and bearing(i still have to buy these)

then all i have to do is put it all together.....

Happy birthday Adam

Party on man

Happy Birthday Man, hope you have a good one

glad you got your priority's in order.

drop off motor THEN party all day long.
