Larry, Do you have this type of equipment at your place? I know you do a lot of your own work.

Yes I have owned a Diesel machine shop. Built toy airplane engines with Harry Paul Tune and burnt Drums of nitro every toy airplane season. If we wanted to go fast with the toy airplanes, we would use laboratory grade nitro, its clear without yellow die.

Could you post up an image of a "Line hone mandrel truing sleeve" Thanks

I have a feeling you've had a pretty good teacher during your life.

It is very encouraging to see a person of Mike's age using his head and hands to do something that he is interested in. He not only has had good instruction but is obviously receptive to learning all he can. Not easily found in young workers today. I see a bright future ahead for you Mike.

The finished piston. Some more pictures of sizing the wrist pins, size was set at .0008. I have to drill and tap the crank snout next and have the crank flange cut, then I can balance the assembly. My dad will hone the block then I can assemble the short block.
