Message	Spent some time yesterday putting together the engine and taking pictures along the way. Big thanks to Kai for his help! We got quite a bit done last night, not as much as I wanted, but I can complete it this evening and start putting it back in. Clutch will be here tomorrow and I will start putting all the break-in miles on her starting friday night. Having a family reunion Saturday at the springs so I'll be able to get some good mileage on her this weekend.. Here's some pics of last night. The first picture (not shown here) was taken at 6:28 last night and the last was taken at 12:38 this morning. Just a hair over 6 hours to get to this point, with a few breaks in there.. And this is what that piston is now good for. [ ashleypowers.com ] [ agpowers@bellsouth.net ] When pigs dance, you better get it on video...
