14 Apache, how about a detailed build thread? Seems like you have some pretty nice stuff and information that I for one would love to read about.

This stuff is old to me but when the motors go back together this time I might just do it. I made a jig to do the blocks to install the piston squirter's had thoughts on trying to sell the idea and rent or sell the jig to do it. but never did. Its pretty good idea.
