Unfortunatley just in the neighborhood. Hoping for some track time after this is completed. I managed to get the new crank in, as well as assemble the complete top end. Looking to get the motor back in tomorrow morning.
Good thing I had to do this re-build. I found a couple of problems that needed to be rectified from the previous owner's last work on the top end. One of the head gaskets was missing leaving coolant to seep into the motor and the bolts on the head itself were loose enough to become an issue. Now she's got a fresh top and bottom end.
After getting the motor back in tomorrow morning, I have to get the ignition timing done and she'll be ready to run in the new parts. This was a faster job than I though possible for my first time out.
