Here's a few pictures of Ben's parts! One of the pistons and cylinders was cracked, but Kermit has some spares.

Looks good - Hope you got a good deal !!

I ran that C35 Cam in my 1776 and I really liked it..
Could of been better or worse with other cams but that
is what I had and turned out well..

Sorda Wished they had fully welded those counterweights for you..

and when picking up the piston it would do you good to get one that
weights the same..

Harbor Freight sales a Cheap 20 dollar scale that goes down to a tenth of grahm
it is awesome for balancing pistons..

If I recall, Kermit should have a nice set of Mahle 1835 jugs and pistons :furious:

(if you don't know the story-someone lied to me about the size of the engine so i purchased the wrong p&j)
