I know, "Bout freaking time!"

Last spring I ate a Motasuckie reed and never got around to pulling the cylinder of to see what happened. It actually looks perfect except for a little scratch/gouge on the piston at about 10 o'clock and just above the lower ring to the top of the piston. I can barely get my finger nail to catch on it but it's there. On the inside of the cylinder there is a small scratch/gouge on the bridge between the intake ports My finger nail catches on it but there are no scratches on the piston from it. Other than that the cylinder was nice and oily after sitting for almost a year. I guess this Amsoil is pretty good in that respect. The bottom of the crankcase had the small pool of oil and looks great. When I pulled the cylinder off there was small specs of carbon fiber everywhere, the Engine difinately ate it. And the top of the cylinder and head has specs of it also. I pulled the pipe and dumped it out on a white piece of paper, As hoser would have wanted :-) and there was nothing in it. So Hoser, I just need a recommendation on the couple small scratches. I will need you to resize the pictures since My camera's setting somehow got switched and this POS Rotton Apple doesn't have a photo shop on it.

I did BTW, get a new laptop! 2 gig Athion with 1064 megs of ram, 100gig HD and a DVD burner and 128 meg video card but my wife turned it into a birthday present, I HATE THAT! I did get lucky that it went on sale for $300 less so maybe I can get something else??? So come on Feb 14th and the big FOR-T! I also bought that 2 1/2" enclosure for my old laptop hard drive so I should be in really good shape with getting my picture back.

On to the pictures;

Tom

Your camera should have a setting to make smaller pics, read the manual
the pics you post could have been printed into a poster lmao


Tell the wife to get a grip, open use the PC today wrap up the box and open it on
the 14th, I remember when the wife bought the kids roller blades in June for their
christmas presents, when we got home I gave them to the kids so they could use
them for 6 months! They opened a empty box when their was snow on the ground
and they could not use the roller blades hehe.

I will digest the pics later... I would have taken the pics in the sun...

Well both actually! It's been a while since I downloaded it so wanted to freshen up on the instructions.

Well today I officially became an old man, or so the 20+ younger carpenters that work for me told me, at the ripe "OLD" age of 40! I sure don't "feel" forty or atleast I don't feel "old". After I run them down for being young and stupid the joking kinda tapers of from thier end! :-) My only quest in life right now is to slow down my work (read-work less!) and start having more fun. Is there such a thing?

Yea I know, "What a pipe dream!"

I'll be only forty all day!

Tom
