lol i hope so.....

no, the base of the rod stem where it meets the big end is almost the same as stock. i brought the motor and stuff to the machine shop today and everyone there was like in awe of the cross beam rod construction. should be all machined by end of next week. hopefully it will be running by next weekend.

what we worked out is boring the cylinders, decking the head and the block, pin fit the pistons to the rods, file fit the rings, fit the rods to the crank, balance crank, rods, pistons, then balance full rotating assembly, and finally gasket match the intake and exhaust manifold.

didn't have to stroke the block/shave some off the lower cylinder walls for the rods to fit?
me likes...even if it is for an l15, still love the work that's going into it.

Now if we could just get you to stack your photos like the words above,
your threads would be so much easier to read.

Keep it up, man.
