BUT!!!!!! thanks to some smooth work from the guys at Colorado Powersports they got my parts in before I took this picture (new rings, bearings... main and rod, head gasket, rod bolts, gaskets) and some other misc parts to do a nice rebuild. And tonight it went purrrrrr :) it sounded happy... time to cross the fingers that its all ok.
Now... if it only makes it through this weekend Ill be happy! lol, might try to get it dyno'ed to see if the metal floating around did any damage/weakend the engine at all... hmm Hey at least its a fresh engine for pueblo right???
DOH :roll:
