His has the tire wire present in the videos. Mine has that tire wire present. Keeps the little set screw that locates that shift arm casting on the shift rod from backing out. It is pointed, and the rod is drilled out for it.

No, the ash was attracted to them I presume because of magnetic field in operation or slight permanent magnetic field. I didn’t even think about the possibility of shorting them out, but it wasn’t that much ash and I’ve been driving around all weekend so I think it’s not likely.
Yes I was referring to the one you have retaining the washer there. Mine has the lock wire on the shaft bolt.
As if an F engine was driven for 340 miles from LA to Stockton and then (ceremoniously) silenced…
Didn’t take a photo with 1100 lbs of bikes in the back today- wasn’t too proud of how saggy it was looking! But handled it no problem. Here’s the dirtbike headed out to the desert this earlier summer. The Ram does it’s fair share of hauling.
I drove the donor back from Denver to LA on Tuesday. It’s a 1990 JDM HZJ73. I was surprised at the compression:
1: 515 psi
2: 520
3: 540
4: 490
5: 500
6: 500
This engine must have been rebuilt. 584k km on clock. No blow by.

Georg said you had two back there.
We did. My brother’s Yamaha Fz1 and the silver bike in the pic above. Tight fit, but still was able to put the tailgate up.
Pictures from @orangefj45, progress has started.
Rear main seal replacement on the way
Big end bearings
everything separated, transmission in good shape. T-case service in progress.

The drivetrain is done and it's about to get stabbed. Big sign on the board says due in April because the crazy Commander is taking it to Japan apparently.
