Engine Pics

[phat7]

Ok. as many here know i'm in the process of rebuilding the engine. Let me just quickly add, being OCD really doesn't help especially if you have no time. This engine has taken approximately 45 days and close to 50-60hours to build especially so with our special "k" ports.

Here are some pics of before and after for your enjoyment. kindly add your own pics whould you have any.

Before

After

ps: the "d" on the rotor housing stand for Dangerous~LOL:shades_smile:
