Sneaky peak at my engine Updated (9-2-08)
« on: July 29, 2008, 06:01:43 PM »
Here is a pic of my engine so far. I still need to strip the covers (clutch, chain, stator) off and blast em'. I think those would be easier to do in the frame. I had to get the valve cover and jugs done before the frame fit.
Any I thought I would share this pic and the parts awaiting assembly.

Here is a couple pics with the engine all buttoned up and the oil bag on. I may have to repaint the bag, but it wil work for now. Not much more I can do, due to the impending wedding next week.
