This week I did talk to Jake about a new crank and rods for which I will have to get new pistons to fit the 22mm pins. Way lighter so the engine should rev like no tomorrow! yippie but this budget is going sideways in a hurry..On the bright side 165hp sounds doable witha 7000 redline, hmmm maybe this will be fun!

Worked on the Westy all day on Sat to fix the oil leaks. What a mess but I did find that the oil filter was barely on so that was leaking big time also. Installed new O rings with telfon was worked nicely. No leaks from the pushrod tubes. Maybe a small leak from a cylinder to block thou...cant fix that now. Installed a bunch of tin screws to keep the rattles away and tightened the exhaust flange nuts which were falling off. Need to order all new exhaust gaskets as they are leaking but it sounds soo much better. Runs stronger too after adjusting the valves which were way too loose!

Installed a Otima battery and a new ground cable so the engine spins up much faster!

Now to fix the wipers.... <_<
