I am real surprised the piston is ok. Did you file the rings down? Hopefully you will be back up and running soon.

Damn, nice job dude!!

Be interesting to see what that head looks like fixed. Wonder what Richard at WCCH would do with that head, fix it or scrap it.

Can't wait till you get this thing back on the road!

I've decided not to bother fixing it. No sense in dumping more money in stock heads that are questionable when fixed, now just to decide what to go with.... Hmmm
