Heading out to the shop now to start on Mike Mcsween's H1R cylinders and heads 8-) 8-) 8-)
They are nice now and I hope to make them better. Pics will follow. Coffee's done, gotta roll. I have about 30 acres to bushog this afternoon. Getting a late start due to being up too late after attending the local feeder calf sale, trying to relearn how to farm after 30 + years is not an easy task...

Here's a before shot H1R topend, got about 1/2 done today :D :D :D

And from the exhaust side, not sure I have them arranged correctly
Image
I assume H1R is premix as there is no provision for oiling the topend???
