ENGINE UPDATE

The 1275 cc engine was delivered to our machine shop in Jacksonville, Florida almost two weeks ago. I spoke with Mark at Precision Machine Service last Friday and he explained that the cylinder head requires a bit more work than anticipated.  Six of the eight valves were questionable and several of the valve guides were worn.  I have ordered the parts and they will be delivered to PMS by the Wednesday of this week.  Hopefully we will have the newly machined block and head in our possession by the early part of the following week and the reassembly will begin.
