hey guys,,,, question,,,,,, do you want me to bring some seasoned hickory for the smokers?????????
 
Doing good and you? Birthdays and normal days off stuff been keeping me occupied and trying to keep cool.Just yanking your chain about bar lengths again,lol.:msp_biggrin:
well I'm just gonna being a 20, 25, 28, 36 I dont have a 32. Happy late birthday bud. I've just been covered up with work. Other than that I just bought a lightly used Ms 250 to try my hand at a port job.
 
56mm 390XP, here it goes:rock: This is a scored 54mm 385XP cylinder. It's the same casting as the 55mm 390XP cylinder. I cut .040" out of the squish band, using a mandrel like Randy does. Instead of just turning the cylinder on the mandrel, I put a bolt in the end of the mandrel, and chucked it up in my drill. It worked great!. It'll now be sent off to US Chrome to be bored to 56mm and replated. It'll be stuffed with a thin ring 2100 piston. The end result will be a 390XP with the displacement of a 395XP. I hope to have it done in time for the GTG.

Looks good B Rad. BTW, that 46 cylinder cleaned up pretty good. Runable at least. :)

I've never done the drill thing. Seems like it would be apt to take a lot out at once. I am working on a new type mandrel at the moment though... :msp_wink:

My thought was that the higher speed would keep it more even, not to mention easier! Glad the 460 jug worked out. I knew that if nothing else, you could throw it on an old work saw just to get it running again. What did you think of the honing? Doesn't look so bad does it?

It looked good to me. Heck, I honed it a bit more. LOL

Who cares about saws this smoking sounds great.:msp_thumbup:
 
Sooooo how many people are coming? Lol. Gotta be an easier way to figure that out. Searching through 20 pages of intelligent conversation is not on my list of things to do today lol.

Is there a way to add event and RSVP kinda like Facebook. Or everyone could go to Facebook ;)
