This happened.

Been a while since I've posted last. Here's where the case inducted e50 sits. Cylinder intake delete plate made. Case halves gooped up and put together with stainless Allen heads. Hpi installed. Treats race crank with new seals and bearings. I cut new gaskets for the reed block since the og ones were shit. Bottom end all assembled and ready for the top end. Still undecided if I want to ad a locator pin to bottom of the case and cylinder to keep things aligned. Currently I have small cut pieces of knitting needles in the cylinder (Walmart purple needles (6mm id! Whahhhh)) but the studs I'm using aren't a true 6mm on the unthreaded section and there is still a tiny bit of wiggle when it's on the studs. Most people and factorys put cylinders on and skip this part but I'm pretty attentive to this kinda thing. We'll see when it comes to it soon here.
