just pics of some of the parts..everyone likes pics...LOL The 3 things in the bag are for the pushrod blocks to make sure they are on straight. On the steel breather, I "assume" that the "T" is the timing mark??

Anyone got any secrets to getting the piston off the rod? Or is there a tool you gotta have?

Wrist pin should just push through but you can use heat if it doesn't. A heat gun is best as no flame.

Stuff rags in the crankcases before flicking the piston circlip out.
