Today was the nicest day we have had in a while. Had to get Mustard out to stretch her legs and get ready for the transplant.

I need to get the top off Sunny...encouraging! Did I miss your set up on how you remove it? Hoist/hang or something else?

Just start unbolting stuff. It will eventually come off. The end result is so worth it.

Hmmm... cop motor or 1FZ or one of the random diesels you always seem to have handy... the suspense is killer!

We're going to have a 2F driving the front axle and one of the diesels driving the rear. They'll race each other every time he drives it

I once suggested to @wngrog that we put a diesel in a truck I had at his house. He wouldn’t talk to me for several days.

Don’t know if I’m authorized to drop any hints, but if I was I’d tell you a six pack of these babies are in Mustard’s future

New USA 75-80 2F oversize pistons, pins, rings

Dome top pistons are no longer available from any source for 75-80 2F engine, especially in useful large oversize like 1.5mm. I'm building an engine now and will be ordering a set of custom pistons w/ wristpins and updated ring package. UPDATED 2020 PRICE: If 3 or more sets are ordered, the...
