She is back
After cleaning up and painting the engine
Disaster struck on the test drive
3 of 4 pistons had low compression
Lots of smoke and won't start when warm.
Commence full engine rebuild
No3 piston was smashed
Head all redone
And after many more hours and just as many curses.
She is all back together
Test drive went perfect
The test drive makes the past 2.5 months of hard work and missing knuckles all worth it.
