well i finally got the propane running good and took it for a test drive. Well I think I had the timing too far advanced or gor something in the intake because the plug for one cylinder disentegrated and there were a half dozel small metal pebbles in the cylinder.
The head looks okay as does the piston, but the pushrods were bent up pretty good and the cylinder walls look like they have been sandblasted.
It doesn't look like there is blowby through the rings though so i'm wondering if I could run a hone down a couple times to try and smooth things up a little and then ruin as is. No camera so no pictures, but anybody think that will work. The walls aren't terrible but the crosshatching is gone.
