Filed and sanded the intake, exhaust, and the cylinder ports. They were probably okay, but now they definitely are. The first seconds of a fresh motor are critical. Smooth, lubed, and no burrs will make a new motor tight and wear properly to last a long long time.
I'm getting tempted to do this now, but share the photo progress during Christmas time. It would be a Christmas present to my BFF @cuinrearview, so he can second guess me and lay his doom and gloom predictions on the project. For New Years, I can post a picture off the internet of a destroyed 290, claim it blew up instantly, caught fire, killed the dog, and get his New Year off to a great start.![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
