Eagle_Adam Posted November 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Got the old piston rings taken off, the wrist pins removed then reinstalled and lubed Before and after cleaning and lube Cleaned up the dizzy Cleaned up the oil filter extender thing....

sedition88 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 I may not comment very often but I've been watching your build, and I'm loving it. I'm planning on doing a twin cam KA in my 510, so I like to see what other people are doing. Keep up all the hard work! Quote Link to comment
opalbeetle Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 I do not comment often either. But, I certainly am watching your build. I like the way you document what you are doing. Makes it super easy to understand what your plan is and how you are executing it. Well done, Adam! Quote Link to comment
