OK, so while Corey was at PRI, he got an update on my motor... The bearings throughout are good, great as a matter of fact...

The cylinder walls, some substantial scuffing in #5 if I remember correctly... There is a broken ring land and when the ring bent up into the cylinder, it scored it, but it's very shallow... Less than .005ths... So, on that front, a good .005 hone, and a new set of pistons/rings...

Heads, there is some damage to both heads that can/will be reworked, new valves and carry on... The motor is at ERL, and the heads are at AllPro....

We also may be making a few changes to the drivetrain, but nothing in stone yet...

Stay tuned.....
