Assembled the short block today, pics
Finally got a crank for my motor so I took the entire assembly over to a buddies shop and we put it together.http://[IMG]www.brumfit.com/photos/tqsmallbolts.JPG[/IMG] [/IMG]
I managed to break one ring
A friend of my buddy dropped by with a 200 hp hill climber Harley. This thing runs on 50% nitro and alcohol mixed.

John I thought your car came with a descent motor?? I know you wanted something bigger. Is that block special. It looks a little ratty on the outside?? You must have started with a older motor that didn't need machining?? I thought it would be hot tanked before doing anything.
Is nitro really that good of a fuel??? Per gallon it is far inferior to gas. The only redeaming property of nitro is it can burn in the absence of air but the BTU output per gallon is low.
