flatcat19 Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 At least you brought pictures. That was horribly painful to read. So I didn't. Quote Link to comment
nl320what Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Very good start, has potential, just keep on it. It started up, but was it running good and smooth? Dont run it more than a few seconds without atleast water and a radiator in there. Hot spots can develope quick and warp all that hard work, especially on a fresh rebuild, needs to be broken in for 500 miles and change the oil/filter right then and at 1000miles too. Just a few tips above..... Need more pics of motor up close and interior, love the 720, addicted to those, especially since you have a unique year, first and last year of that body style (originally the last year of the L20B too).
