Default Pics of the motor under construction...

Hi guys.. I promised these some time ago. Here are a couple of pics of the motor and custom pistons. Sorry they are a little out of focus. My camera has trouble with that and shiny things sometimes.

New vs old comparison.

Default "macro mode" setting on your camera would have helped...

Pistons look nice...

Default That was with Macro :-(...

The pistons were custom ordered from Wiseco.
What parts are you looking for?

The block has been sleeved so that is a fresh hone job.

Default Thanks Super Dave! :-)... the proof will be in the eventual dyno...

I'll take it over to the Sprongl's shop for an AWD dyno when I have broken her in.

Default I've been doing manual focus recently....

and it works better. Macro will still focus on the background as it did in your pics. I set the manual focus all the way close and then just put the camera at the ditance whech makes what I want inm focus look the best.

Nice pistons!
