I don't understand it either, I think it is a sickness that can't be explained just like *****, beer, tools, garages, beer, *****, every man has fascinations.

I know John (Mia) speaks highly of Sachs but don't know if he sends his heads there

Ya Schex3x, this will be an adventure, already took the engine apart so can't look back

I'm ready for some pictures and please, none with it in the trash can. Winter was just to long for you this year wasn't it? If deer season went until March it would keep you occupied.

Too cold to deer hunt and I'm positive that dragging an expensive engine across the back yard in a garbage happens in other parts of the country?

Heads and carb sent off to Florida to unleash the power lost in manufacturing. Will find out what John does to the S&S/Ultima R1 to optimize big cubes.
