Brian, congratulations on getting a very satisfactory result at the end of a difficult process!  Your attention to detail and documentation of what you're doing is certainly appreciated!

Again, great job!

Mike---Every once in a while, I run into something that I don't think I'm going to be able to do.---and that worries the Hell out of me. I've always been the man who can do anything, and I hate to think that there is something that has defeated me. I'm happy that I was able to finally get some workable rings and a "process". Not bad for a "geezer". I'll be 75 this Wednesday.

And today we get to see how slow the engine will run. I've got about an hours continuous run time on it now, and as those cast iron rings "bed in" the compression gets higher and higher, and consequently the idle speed can become less and less. I'm pretty impressed with this.

Very nice, Brian!

I'm glad you told us you had your garage door up!  I was starting to worry for you - sitting by the running engine for an hour!  :o

When Roger says you are persistent, he know of what he speaks.  Good job and thanks for the build record, Brian.
