Quick question… where did you source the welting from ? Looking great so far. I’ve got a 94 i’m working on restoring also…

I will second Vegabond! I just got one of @Fj80oregon rebuilt engines too! I have about 300 miles on it so far in the last month and it has been awesome to feel the difference. Great communication from start to finish. Has been readily available to answer questions about “while you are in...

Still available ?

I’ve got a fuel filter ready to go and just did the PHH in september
