One would have thought that given the nice little divots in each piston that the intake valves would have been toast. Oddly enough all the valves except #4 were still in good shape. Stout little buggers, they are! They took a literal pounding.

To date my little mistake has cost me around $1600 with pistons, machining, valve job etc. and the thing isn't even back together yet. !@#$

OUCH That mistake has gotta hurt
But just think she will be all new again

Well look at it this way it wont happen agean. Good luck getting every thang back.

The motor's about half done. I'm waiting on some parts from Herr Haygood and we ought to have a finished product early next week. I'd post some pics but I can't get them to work. Must be a glitch.

Don't hold your breath.....i don't know what's going on with Steve Haygood delivering parts in a timely manner. A good friend has been waiting for your basis replaceemnt front end parts for 1 month!!!!! That much time doesn't leave room for any excuse. Hope he is OK. He should keep his customer's informed. Just my 2cents worth.

I have never had any issues in regards to service from Steve. The parts in quesion for the rebuild took 4 days to get here.

I know he's had some growing pains due to his business going crazy but I've never had anything but the best in customer service.

SteveH has has some "drops" from time to time, but overall a great resource for our community.

Ive bought from him and is a great seller, just gotta keep up
