John,

But, rest assured, that magnet is not in the crankcase. People get spooked about the innermost innards of our Bonnies, but the mystique is not warranted. The picture below shows what AMI Racing engines looked at for a few hours.



If there was a magnet in there, they would have found it.

Anyway, I started building it back up this evening. Installed the starter, replaced all the gears in the clutch cavity, reinstalled the Barnett clutch (I'm getting good at that one), and installed the oil sump & cover.

I'm beginning to get stoked (and broke ).
