My Engine Bits ARRIVED

I sat down Sunday night on the computer and ordered all the parts needed for my 1275 engine rebuild. Used Hap's list from Ray's engine build as a guide. Well today about 99% arrived at my door.

Just not sure about going with Alu fly wheel and the extra cost?

Need some input on the subject

Cheers

Boy going to have this back on the road faster then my Abarth.

if you need a place to keep that engine once it is rebuilt I just might have an engine bay

For reference, the build that Hap just did on my motor (https://www.drooartz.com/index.php?page=44) is very similar to Ray's, but without a few of the more exotic bits (I kept the stock rockers and the stock flywheel for instance, but most of the internal bits are the same). It's a street motor, so for me I didn't see the cost/benefit of switching out the flywheel. Your mileage may vary, as always. :smile:
