Engine Assembly

I'm a little behind posting my progress.  But, my good friend Dean Fox from Sioux City has been helping me with the assembly of my motor.  This is my first motor, so I'm glad to have someone with experience mentor me and show me tips/tricks.

Motor assembly is pretty much done.  We will adjust the valves after we install the motor.  Keeping the tension off the springs.
