Did some wrenchin today and got her pretty much done apart from the pipe and intake.
Glen did a bitchin job on the top end for me
Studs installed, I chased the the barrel threads with a tap then cleaned 'em out with carb cleaner and compressed air, then wound the studs in as hard as I could pull. I put a stock '89 top end next to it for comparison.
Bling piston
At home...
Where I gave up...

Have a look at the decompression scalops for comparison. Looks like 1 or 2mm higher.

Bastard!!!!!!
Ive got this suckass vinyl siding that Ive been meaning to rip off since they day I bought the house, just one of those 5k jobs I keep putting off
It really does make it look like a trailer and Ive got no fukkin idea why people do it, I pulled a few sheets off a couple of years back and with the amout of nails they use to mount the shit the stucco is pretty much toast
