Sweet deal, let us know how she runs, it cold here today,. gotta jet her right for the winter-you gonna ride soon?My motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) is down at the Research and devolpment center for a comprehencive check up-hope all goes well.

Got her all together. Turned key and kicked right over. I have done some idling breakin today. I will take her down off the "Pilot stand" (compliments fo pilotnut) and run her all day around the yard.

Already the Engine sounds VERY crisp - THANKS TO HOSER.

I will follow up tomorrow with the break ride.

You work FAST!

Glad it went together easy.

You guys have snow their?

no snow yet....today was about 40...tomorrow we are expecting some flurries, but that's it. I went and picked up my season pass for snowboarding today, so it better snow.

as for riding...i'm ready.....you ready?

u may call me a wimp or a baby....but its just to cold right now to break in this baby........ 29 degrees!

that's snowmobile weather not Pilot weather, its not to cold to ride until your going 40+ mph heh

hey hoser, whats the gray stuff at the cylinder base? I'm curious because if you remember my bsae gasket has blown twice. Is this something new you came up with?

Good observation, what you see is Hondabond, yes after having 2 cylinder gaskets blow, or suck inside I put Hondabond on one side of the cylinder gasket so it is stuck to the cylinder and cant slip, I also apply a thin layer of Hondabond to the outside as you see in the picture as a extra safeguard, so far I have not had a gasket fail since using the Hondabond.

So here's the deal. Still in the breaking in process.......
Seems to be MUCH torquier than the last motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )). I'm sure it is the "hoser enhancements" that are making the difference.

I kept the jetting as was before.....covered up one on the air inlets and it fattened it right up. Once it's broken in - off comes the duct tape and yippee!

Thanks Hoser - U THE MAN!

Did you run it up and down the street WOT (Wide Open Throttle) for short burst yet?

Thrill the neighbors

I will prolly do that today and do a plug chop. I'll take pics of the plug at that time.

Hell, your right !!!It frigin cold out-mabye rain check for that ride OK?
I wouldn't call you a wimp-I hate the cold myself anyway-LMAO!!!
I GO SKIING, 1 RUN, THEN BAR TIME!! by the fireplace for the rest of the day-lol

Your funny, I'm a snowboarder........when it's cold, the pilot stays home and out comes the snowboard.

that's a killer photo man!! My Pilot stays in too, I hop into this for fun in the snow, 44's are great for snowbanks!!!AND IT HAS HEAT TOO-lol

Hey Mud, are these a good deal on mud tires?

My buddy was looking at getting some 44"s and I was telling him about these 53"s. They looked OK to me for the price.

Looks like you have some nice work done to that. That not just a truck with a lift is it?

What's the motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) and drivetrain?

yes Bill that's a good deal for sure.

The motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) is a fully blown 454 from a local hot rod Engine builder-the frame is a chevy but it is boxed,the transfer case is an old DODGE out of a military truck, it is divorced, the shafts are custom made from ARIZONA DRIVELINE-the interior has full cage, with 6 piont harness, the dash is custom made as well.The rad is in the bed with custom tubing to the motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )).Thing wins alot of mud bog competitions locally and in PA as well.My record pass is 13.09 seconds in 150 ft of mud-10 ft deep, still stands to this day I think.

Got any pics or video of it gettin dirty?
