Dumbo The Flying Elephant

Everytime I think I'm gaining, something says look at me a little closer. When that happens it will cost me, usually, time and money, today was no different. Problem that had to be addressed, valve lock was bottoming out in groove before it contacted the valve stem. I think that would make turning 7500 RPM way to exciting. The fix was sending valves back to the manufacture with locks and retainer. But me looking at the positive side, its an American company and I should have parts back next week.

I found the part# I have been looking for for at least 3 months. I can't afford to buy it yet but I'm saving up.

More later.
