Engine & Test Stand With Fuel Line & Glow Plug Wires Installed. Has great compression and sounds awesome when turned over with a drill at 2,500 RPM. Got fuel & castor oil...now time to fire it up. Hope it works half as good as it looks. Had a delay due to snapping the original eccentric shaft (many hours lost due to shipping new stock and remachining). Note: Due not try to thread 4140 with a die after flame hardening the steel. I was in a hurry and forgot to thread before hardening and learned the hard way... I need to slow down and think before jumping into the next task.
