I was able to save the barrels of the shortblock. They are honed, the pistons are ok and the rings are good. If I can find some heads, I can reassemble this thing soon!

Cool. I thought that might work!

Two were nasty bad and took a very long time with the hone.
I will have to buy some shims to take up a touch of the end play.

i had a tweeker come by the house today and tell me he would be back in an hour with a trailer to buy WT. Haha... I told him it was ready for me to sell, He said that cash always makes things ready. Irony... He was on a bicycle and couldn't stay focused. I closed up the shop and double checked the locks tonight!

the 1600cc engine will be going on the stand in a couple weeks after the shop is finished. The nice thing about a low buck shop? If it isn't fit together like a piano build, I can blame it on the materials!
Tram, you will like that more than 95% of it is re-purposed. At least I think that is what the tree-hugger types call recycled materials.

Woot... almost there! Ran out of time and long 1x6s yesterday. I will trim off the extra length to use for the short boards to the right of the door opening this evening.

| Brian, that's quite an accomplishment to design and build this storage area. I have two left hands as to hammers and saws... Will you paint the inside walls and ceiling white to maximize light reflections? |

At some point, but probably not until spring. it is too stinking wet this time of year here.
I still have to put the actual siding on the structure, but I am lucky that the weather side of it is actually the house side, so most of the nasty gets blocked 1st.
