    I'd love to send you the instructions on claiming your Olympic Grade Coke but Mr Knotttty beat u too it... :eek: But in the spirit of the games i'll make an exception so you may claim one also as the silver medalist in this competition please see detailed instructions below...

    Mr Knotttty please go to your local Coke machine with a large axe to claim your free soda. This is best accomplished during evening hours. *results may vary depending upon size of axe amount of police presence etc... Otherwise Enjoy in good health!

    In retrospect probably slightly, however this was a side view which exaggerates the danger (the load would not have hit him at this point if it cut)

    Dude!!

    First why are you trying to put that nice flatty into your tractor? It seems to have a very serviceable motor in it already and the flathead would work much better in your coupe. Either way that big red thing with the wheels is just a stand to hold the motor while your working on it, you have to take it off before you install the engine. :D

    Good to see the engine all together and ready to go, good luck with the rest of the build, looking forward to watching.

    The Yanmar diesel has more torque, but the flatty sure will sound better eh? :D

    Started polishing the heads... Taping off was laborious but fun too! I like to use green tape and a trusty hammer...

    Nice sharp tape edges with this technique... I also used an exacto knife where the hammer wouldn't fit.

    Close up of the fins being polished... Had to be careful to not move too much material... As it will not look right!

    Another broader view, so when the paint goes down it won't go to the areas not marked.
