Nice color choice

Thanks, I'm rather fond of it, good contrast. Wilbur and Larry are fine, great news. I'm back at it, shoulder injury acting up bad. But here's some pics.

whats the wee hand trowl with the gauge. I see it is inch pounds, torque wrench ?

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #28 on:** September 11, 2017, 11:38:41 AM »

Yes, my favorite, Snap On 3/8 inch 0-600 inch lbs. Had it since 1984. Bill

Enlighten us, what does it do related to the rod?

It's technically called a "Connecting Rod Vise".

You'd be correct sir! Here I'm using it to loosen the rod bolts, but has many other uses, Bill

Coming along well there Bill.

Question about the shoulder; Was it the discomfort a flair up from the RC car injury, the bicycle fall or the pit bull attack? I know you've been through a lot the last 3 years or so. Just hope everything will be okay. We've got racing to do- you don't have time for that crap!!!

wow...I love any pics from inside Bill's bat cave....soooo much cool #$%* to look at. Is that a MT125 hangin' out back there?

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #38 on:** September 14, 2017, 05:28:28 AM »

Thanks. Frank, my hand has healed from the dog attack. But it aggravated the old injury from the RC crash, hurts 24/7, sometimes wrong inside besides the partial rotator cuff tear. Going to Rockingham, that's all I know now. Not sure if /what I'll be riding. Jimmy said he was 3rd in SET and I was 30th, but they gotta give me Valdosta points and I'd be 15th he said. Gotta check. Glad you ok.

Crap Bill, we need to put a roll cage around you when you go out in public from now on.

I definitely am following this build...

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #41 on:** September 18, 2017, 05:15:30 PM »

Well, lookee here.....oh, u wanna know what one weighs? OK later tonight hehe....lol, Bill

gschuld · « **Reply #42 on:** September 18, 2017, 06:04:51 PM »

47 grams each is my guess.

George

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #43 on:** September 19, 2017, 04:51:08 PM »

Wow, 46, K. Way to go Jay. Been busy, Carrillo's installed. Getting there. Gotta get ready for Rockingham.

dragracer · « **Reply #44 on:** September 20, 2017, 09:04:05 AM »

Looking good. You'll get it done!!!

But what's going on with the engine that's on the bike???

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #45 on:** September 21, 2017, 03:33:56 AM »

It's going to come apart for steel rods, Carrillo or CycleX. And then swap cam also. Plan is to run new engine in November.

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #46 on:** September 21, 2017, 04:57:27 PM »

Not a chance brother. Shooting for Valdosta in November, think we can do that. Keith's rebuilding a primary drive for me, sent him 3 today to choose from, lol, Bill

dragracer · « **Reply #47 on:** September 21, 2017, 10:02:38 PM »

I've got to drop the rebuild parts off next week for my local guy to rebuild a primary for the project bike engine. I've definitely got to do one for the red bike in the off season when I fresh up the engine. Hoping I can get another 20 years out of this motor.

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #48 on:** October 13, 2017, 05:14:28 AM »

Keith, here's a pic. I'm using the one on the left, thanks, Bill

Got it. It's the clutch basket you are going to have to pay attention to.
Pics are good on the forum - stretched vertically in your emails.
