I put head studs on it while I was there. I looked at the pistons and they all looked solid. Cylinder walls looked fine, so I put her back together and fired it up last night. Hopefully I can get her on the road to double check everything. She ran and idled for 20 minutes without issue. Good oil pressure, didn't overheat.....you know...the important stuff
Someday I will end up with a Teksid and tubular k-member to drop some weight, but who knows when that will be.
