I will never again curse and grind up the timing inspection cover trying to cautiously remove it as if i were defusing a ticking bomb.

Ive been so afraid of that blasted thing. I Want, man, I REAlly, really want to tighten the thing more when Im putting it together, but I dont, & it doesnt fall out, & it comes out when I need it to. & It has antisieze in it, too.

Earlier I posted about how the bottom of my clutch cover looked like dry, cracked earth.

After about 15 minutes with 220 grit sandpaper it was surprisingly smooth. There are still some pits that will need more work, but it has been much easier so far than I expected.

Here's another example. The edge used to look like the first one, but now it looks like the second one.

If you sand to remove them, you might reach the other side before you get rid of them all.

Things just need to pass the 10-foot test in case I decide to go with a high pipe some day.

A little something today from the UPS guy.

A "previously owned" cylinder should arrive later this week, then they'll both go out for boring.

Why am I not just sending out the cylinder I already have? It's one of my odd habits, inspired by the First Rule of Wing Walking: don't let go of what you have until you have hold of something else. And maybe the troublesome thread for the 103mm head bolt will be in better shape.
