Just a quicky to keep you updated. I have been extremely busy at work so have not had time to do much. So, as for the XS who is the good hand of Travis. Well, it turns out that right cylinder with piston wear measured .0038 and the left .0047 meaning I had to order 1st over bore piston and rings.

which also means that cylinder will have to be bore at the machinist. Let us hope all will be ok after that. I should get the engine back shortly. Meantime, I ran into trouble with my shovel. For some reasons it started firing up and loosing power, and considering the primary chain had to be changed because I could hear it bounce on the primary case, I dropped it off at my friend Go who will look at it. I have a suspicion that pistons and rings will have to be changed as well as cylinder rebore.

Meanwhile, I carry on working of the Police Special and started cleaning/grinding parts.

and after some grinding, this is how it will come out.

and finally I took more or less everything apart except the engine which stayed in the frame.

The grinding will continue for a long long time...That's all for now yall...
