One small step

Well she's about buttoned up! the engine would be completely buttoned up, but I forgot to buy an oil filter! It's been about 4 months in the building, wait..... 4 months!?! Well, we have been taking our time with this beast. It also didn't help that Diana and I bought our first house and have been fixing it up for the past few months. Tony and I finished adjusting the valve shims today and were finally able to see the fruits of our labor. Here are some stats on the engine:

-Wiseco 890cc pistons
-Cylinders resleeved to accommodate larger pistons
-CB900 cams
-CB900 oil pan, sending unit and oil cooler
-Valve job
-Heavy duty clutch springs
-Cycle Ex dual carb system
probably forgot some other stuff, it's late...

On Thursday, we plan to do some welding on the frame and install the engine. Then, it's back to my house for the finishing touches (which may take 3 more years). Let's hope not though!
Here are some pics of the engine.








Almost done!
