bt, Really glad for you that you got the varmir part out. Now that magnet, well, that's another story and it is for sure stuck very securely on the metal parts.. By the way, is the locator dowel magnetic anyway? Not sure, but for future reference it's good to know. As far as working on the bench, definetly way easier, but more of a PITA for sure. Could you do me a flavor and post a nice picture of the bottom of the motor with the oil pan removed, I am curious to see what's under there and what is accessable. Especially the con rods. And as stated above, the cast rods Jojje uses are because he drag races his bonnie and they need the serious rods, not really necessary unless you plan on serious beating up of the machine. Good luck, keep me posted. I hate to say it, but you already know, you lerarn far more by mistakes then if it went smoothly. I know I did. If you can forward me the pix when you're all done I will add them and the clutch stuff this winter to my site. The more the bettererer. Cheers, have a cold one on me!
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.
