All the old pieces.

Cut the flange off. Ended up cutting 2 more inches off.

The sexy new style.
Good morning Jay! Ahh gotcha. Well hopefully that sexy new bling will fix the issues.

Mason and I went for a ride (probably one of the last) got home and it was gone! UGH!! Need to figure out why they keep coming off. Guessing the rough trails don't help much. Should be riding a motocross bike instead of a snowmobile on some of the trails with the whoop sections.
Good morning Cory! Yeah I think the riding will be about doen after the this next week. Got some pretty warm temps coming. Might as well get onto camping!

Unfortunately these are buried under an access panel and the gas tank.

Good morning Jim and Cory!

Enjoy your snow Jim!

Yeah I wasn't excited to this snow either Cory. At least it will all melt away this week.

Got a start on assembling the 6.4 yesterday late in the day. Got the cam and crank in it and pistons on the connecting rods. Tonight we'll get going on it again. Hopefully get all the pistons it.
