I really lost myself this weekend

Very quick turnaround from Axtell on the cylinder boring, literally ONE day. I've never had a machine shop turn work that fast! I've also got an Ultima ignition module that'll require a little rewiring to get done. Over the coming weeks I'll be putting it all back together. My garage isn't air conditioned so it's not the most fun to be working in but I wanna get this done so I'll power thru.

I know, right?
At least this time I'm really knocking things down to earth, and tweaking the timing to go along with it. Lemme get it all broken in and reliable, then I'll build the power back up.

Getting things back together, but being a LOT more meticulous about it. For starters, knowing EXACTLY what my compression ratio is
Finding TDC:
Using a depth gauge to see how far under the deck the piston is
Silly putty in the valve relief, then put in the burette for volume
Burette, 100ml. Got it on Ebay for like $20
Head Gasket thickness
And checking the combustion chamber volume. FWIW, dead nuts on the money from the build sheet from Hammer, 91cc
Drumroll.......................................... ..................
I also installed an Ultima 53-644 ignition module, but didn't take any pics. Perhaps by the weekend I'll be under power again. We'll see.
