On Saturday, I dropped and cleaned the fuel tank, reinstalled said fuel tank, cleaned out the fuel line, put on a new fuel pump, and put in new brake shoes.

Got my harmonic balancer back from Damper Dudes. Had them primer it so I can paint it the same color as the motor when I paint that. Also got my flywheel resurfaced. The heat cracks in the flywheel disappeared. :D

How much did Damper Dudes charge?
Damper Doctor costs $170 now days which seems a bit much.

They charged $109 plus $15 shipping. Turn around time was pretty good, also.

With help from Premo, we installed a C cam and Stan's adjustable cam gear. And we almost finish the whole bottle of Suntory whiskey while performing the job.
