  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Still waiting on material. Post office has had it marked "out for delivery" all week. We went there and the counter guy says it's not been delivered to our facility yet. WTF USPS?

    Finally !. The material got delivered after ordering form 3 different suppliers. Kenny wasted no time in getting it machined. He had to use his rod hone machine for the final cut and then it broke the leather belt. Got that fixed with a spring to join the ends. Setting up the shafts and making final clearance adjustments. Plan is to assemble the heads onto the engine bolt down the rocker bar and adjust lash then spin the Peterson pump and see how the oiling works.

    Its all back together. Oiling worked as it should. Finished the top end assembly yesterday and gave it over night for theRTV on the china walls to fully cure. Will add water and fire it off today 465455608_10231840892698967_4064625497632428175_n.jpg 465053440_10231840889818895_2062265964244341843_n.jpg
