<VV> Spike Part Three

[Smitty Smith]

Smitty Says:  The teardown continued today and along with it I put the rings on the right side where the compression had been low.  Went slow but fairly well untill I pulled # 1 cylinder.  It came out in pieces with the rings.  Didn't look quite right to me but what do I know.  Had a set of TRWs I was planing on using for a spare engine so I got one of them.  Balanced it against the other one and found the TRW was quite a bit heavier.  Not to fear.  With the help of a piece of piano wire for a scale and a big grinder for the piston they weigh the same now.  Good for at least 10,000 rpm.  TRWs sure look funny after you drill a bunch of lightening holes in them.  I didn't know how big to drill them in the top so I drilled them the same size as the ones in the skirt.  Is that good?
