Talked to Eric today and the machine work has been finished. He ordered the new pistons which should been here in 10-12 days. It will have a 4.25 bore and a 4.25 stroke.

Talked to Eric today, barring any unforseen circumstances, he will be ready to dyno the engine on Wednesday.

Great
Sounds like we in the CC community need to mentally connect and support you through this process on Wedensday.
From me I hope it goes well.
Cheers

Thanks for good wishes. Another day postphonement. They found some broken inner valve springs so they will be replacing them.

Tomorrow is "D" day. Eric called today and he is breaking it in and I am going up tomorrow for power pulls. Now this is more like it.

Bill got the motor in this past week but I wasn't able to get it until yesterday because of the rain. Nice warm day and it pulls really strong. It stills get hot when in stop and go traffic. Runs at 92 degrees at 70 mph. I need to get it broke in before I hammer it.
