well i was working on the bottom end today. i installed 3 of the 4 pistons with their new rings, but unfortunately sometime during the transport of the parts it seems like the crank fell on one of the boxes with the rings in them, because the oil scraper ring was busted when i took it out of the package. im hoping to get lucky and find someone, somewhere who has just one, but ill most likely be ordering a new set next week. lame...

work area

the inevitable

finished what i could, didnt/ couldnt do everything i wanted because of the broken ring

got my toyos in, just waiting for the wheels, hopefully they will get here before waterwerks...
