[cavemanchoppers]

sorry man, i been on the road all day hunting a radiatior for my 68 chev in syracuse.
of course got lost a bit. just got home.i left myself signed in.i'm in watertown ny. i was hopin to avoid that question unless i decide to buy or sell something. I ride alone and figured it would always be that way.but if i am gonna buy stuff on here, guess i gotta trust the site and people on it.

 

[Loffer]

Sorry missed it the first time, duh. I deal with Hartz alot. He knows 650's really well.

 

[cavemanchoppers]

hey Josh and Rob, give ol' Mitch a call? i had my jugs mic'd.it don't sound right but been told my pistons are stock and my jugs are .030 over.the rings are stuck to piston and only had 60 lbs compression.what to do? bore and go to .040 over stock? looking around the net,couldn't find a .030 over set.10, 20, 40,etc.. no 30, do they make a .030 over set? do you have upper gasket set and pistons/rings for that? if that's what is needed.thanks.
