Almost like when you look at some peeps -- you think. That person has lived a hard life

Everywhere

Surprisingly the only damage to the cylinder was a tad bit of carbon scoring. Easily cleaned up. This thing musta been tuned its whole life @ 11k.
Never seen a 346 so carboned up.
This is an E-Tech version BTW

Coming along nicely. It's odd perhaps, but I get quite a bit of satisfaction doing things like that.

Exhaust strap flat steel pop rivets and electrical tape when you care enough to use the very best lol

When you need to heat the house/shop/barn and ain't got no time to run to town.[emoji106]

Town ain't gonna have the parts anyhow.

I have an 028 that needed new bearings. I ordered a set of Chinese bearings and seals for it. The bearings went in fine but I messed up the seal on the clutch side. I thought, well the seal must have been off. I got a oem seal and it did the same thing. I got to measuring and the bearing is .010 too small for the seal. I have now ordered a nos oem bearing. It's a major pain in the butt.

Nasty muff mod that ruined a piston.

"Couple of leaners that were under tension" Did the old twist and snap. First time I've seen this with a Sugi. Somehow, the 562 it was mounted on only got a scratch!

Did you clean out that deck, or just hit it with a weed wacker?

And Warren wants a better pic of that yellow lift.

Weed Wacker FTW!

It is a standard two post automotive lift, was ~$2K installed. We had a fabricator come out and build the platforms on site, I think it was another $500 for that. You can see where I had to notch out the back platform to get it to slide forward enough to put a lawn tractor on it. The platforms just rest on the lift arms, bolting them down made them a lot more stable IMO.

Thanks for the pics Joe!
