I will have a proof copy from the printer this week. I could sell that, and forward it to you once I make sure that its good.

Thanks Jake, I will call on Monday and leave you my contact info. I plan to assemble the engine next weekend once I get my parts back from machinist that is balancing my lower end parts. Coincidence my Son is named Jacob but we call him Jake. Thank you.

The Knowledge Gruppe will have the books listed on their site later in the week. All the sales go through them.
Wait a couple days and I'll post details.

I had my pistons coated 4 year's a go. Friend of mine did the top and skirt coating and engine has done now about 80k Km's (50k miles) after rebuilt/refress.

No problems what so ever.

Oh, and for Jake, this is the same engine that I used the sandpaper to clean cylinder 5 from aluminium debries.
(if you remember this unorhodox fixing method)
