I have a good memory of arriving in Schweinfurt, Germany and seeing this building from afar Best of luck with the sale, looks very nice

It’s a valid concern if you’re going to have a nice shiny crankcase. You may need to make a clean notch in this area, then you’ll have plenty of clearance for a bigger deflector mod 😀

Pics for assessment purposes please 😀

Here’s my lil contribution….big shop…one day 😀

It’s a beautiful 359, I just think $525 is at the high end of the market price right now. The right buyer will come along on this one.

I have a few I am working on myself and have seen a few recommendations. 0.030 looks like a safe amount to go with, check the timing after machining and see where you’re at. Do you have some target numbers in mind?

Prepping for future builds

Breasts

W1, W2, and W3 for the 357 builds. I’m sure there is a thread somewhere discussing any differences. All measure 0.029” squish without a base gasket. From a quick glance the lowers look slightly different

I just want to know if it’s going to reduce my carbon footprint ☺️
