Are those risers dry to the tip? Are you getting reversion?

I’d love to have it if I seen it! But not in my cards at the moment I am determined to keep fighting this ol girl. I’m close so close to making it happen! Just got to back up and figure out my next steps which I believe I have! Just gotta get my motivation back to take these hunks of garbage I got sold out of her.

Careful whom you buy engines from on here thought I did good research and seemed stand up. I guess in todays world and times it’s money over integrity anymore these days. Curious to how some sleep at night. The truth will be told in due time.

Default Shop

Finally finished up on the shop I built for my project! Fixing to start tearing it BACK apart and taking the engines out for the 3rd time. On the bright side she has a nice new dry warm shop here at home to work on it. I call it the “ smoke shack “ haha.
