Dan is the MAN!!!!

Wow!! Dan, you went way above and beyond on this one!! A hand made belt clip made from a Coc, Tom Fugle/David Mann belt, cool sickers, and awesome book marks?!?! I'm not worthy!! Way too much for an old pair of boots! Looks like I'm gonna have to come up with something else to send to the great white north! I'm humbled brother, thank you.

Braaap!

Loooong winter nights...

Hmmm,

I wonder what these numbers stamped into the engine case represent. These are on the front of my left case below the front engine mount. I found matching stamped numbers insde the cam chest on the right side case. You guys have any insight?

Exhausted,

Worn out! Tired of exhaust flanges and pipes that dont fit, leak, and erode exhaust ports! Fine, I'll just make my own! You guys let me know if you need a set of flanges and I'll see what I can do.

I'm pretty sure..

I need a bigger garage!

Luke 5:27-32

27 After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at his tax booth. “Follow me,” Jesus said to him, 28 and Levi got up, left everything and followed him.
29 Then Levi held a great banquet for Jesus at his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were eating with them. 30 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law who belonged to their sect complained to his disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
31 Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

Line Honing

Probably my least favorite part of engine building, but one of the most important. This is the process that ensures that the left and right side main bearings are concentric.

Happy New Year!!!

I pray you will all be blessed in the new year.

Winter blues.

It's only been winter for 8 days and I'm already tired of it!! C-mon summer!

Made the cut.

This is an upgrade that definately made the cut! In fact, it worked out even better than I expected. After all, who actually expects a Troublehead to stop, right?!? You can see by the wear pattern that the late model caliper contacts much less of the rotor than the bananna caliper did. But, being a much more efficient caliper/master cylinder set up, it provides a great deal more stopping power than what the stock caliper ever could.

Safety first.

You can look,

But you won't find a better brother than this! He's letting me use his spare Troublehead mill to get Caroline on the road. I love this guy!!!

Yay,

I found my cam bearing! Somebody hid it in my oil pump!
