Default Finally some progress on my motor!

Guess somone was wondering where I went to. It would be good to think I was missed a just a bit lately.
I finally have had the pistons re thermal coated and now they are off to be rebalanced with the other parts. At last some real progress on the motor. I was beginning to think I would miss Power Tour 2007 at the rate my builder was going.
Just an update. Bye, Glenn

Hey, pics of what? You saw the pistons already. If I could I'd go the the machine shop and take photos of the balancing, but they won't let anyone back there, so that just leaves the actual assembly, and that hasn't happened ...yet. All kind of boring right now. Later, Glenn

Yeah - we want pics of the can the thermal coating came in, the bench it was done on, the balance machine and scale, before and after coating pics, photos of the last power tour, a proposed map of the power tour, etc.
