Very nice work on the engine. I went through your site. The rust you started with gave me shivers of the stuff that happens to these C-3's after all these years. Kudos for your efforts! :cheers:

Looks :cool:
But PLEASE becareful with that breather. Down here they are called "Flame Throwers", for obvious reasons. All it takes is one carb backfire and that foam is a fireball, seen it WAY too many times. It may not happen everytime, but all it takes is once.

Re: Engine rebuild progress pics and link (keith72)
Thanks for the comments.
The headers are Dynomax ceramic coated, and we'll probably install with them on the engine. (Body is off the frame so its easier. Besides, I always wanted one of those cool pics with the engine on a stand).
Thanks for the heads-up on the breather/flame thrower. I'll make sure to be careful.
