The heads and cylinders are off now








Notice the balancer set up in front of the flywheels, the very odd shaped rod small ends...
The twin plug location in the chambers. Look at the racing style 4 valve port work.
Some of the marketing hype posted all over internet mentioned, separate ports for each valve, these are not two seperate ports per valve to me....this is the best way to do them

The stock Pistons are nice castings.
The major thrust skirts have way more area than the minor thrusts
Look at piston photos and see rear of front and rear of the rear are wider skirts than the front on both Pistons. Also I have photos of the ring gaps perfectly aligned. I believe the steep cross hatch on the MOCO hone job is the culprit.
Enjoy my photos and findings.

Please, please, please continue Mr. Bryce.
Really appreciate you digging into it. Looks great so far. Interesting on those rings...

Kinda wish you were disassembling the case as I'm wondering how that Slot/Pin deal on the balancer gear works.
