Alright, well it was time to renew the SJ motor. Could use a new crank, def some new pistons, and some other little refreshers. While the motor was out, I figure I might aswell sproose it up a bit. Along with some good sponsors and a VERY good streak of luck, it's all coming together.
First off....I'd like to thank my sponsors for helping out so much. They've put in free work, discounted parts, free parts, funding, or other support for me at competetions.

Managed to break one of those stupid starter bolts today while removing it. Tricky1 told me it was a common thing for those bolts to snap when we put rings in my motor last year. How did I know it would happen to me when I went to do it. I have a friend who has a machine shop who will remove it for a pack of cigs so it should be cool. Horray for cancer addicts!
Parts...
With an outstanding stroke of luck, I worked out a deal with a friend witht he selling of his ski I recieved a free set of Dual 44's. I purchased a R&D manifold from a board member at a fair price soon after.
Lightened flywheel from LPW. Cant wait to torque it down. Hoping to pick up some quicker revs with the flywheel, reeds, and lighter pistons.
Hot Rods stock stroke crank. Found a nice deal on an extra a friend had. New cranks are a chunk stealer but the peace of mind after running a 10 year old crank is there. I'm all fresh. Still havent even opened the sealed package
Tommorrow we are deturfing, cleaning up the tray, and getting ready for glass.
