Clarification: FAT bouht RIMCO, not the other way around. And Greg Aaronson sold most of his stake in FAT, but he's still around from time to time.
Currently rocking an unknown $10 swap meet pressure plate with a moment right around 2k while my plate is at DPR for balance… We shall see…

Re: Now I've done it
Picked up the cylinders from Lowbugget Friday. Today I'm going to balance the pistons and wrist pins, then measure deck height. I should have done it yesterday, but was fighting with the driver's seat on the Baja (swapped it for a cheap Empi so I can fix the original) and replacing all 4 H7 bulbs in the Saab. Ugh, that's a PITA on that car.

Re: Now I've done it
Also, this is what happens when you DON'T follow directions.
There are supposed to be spacers between the slide and the seat itself. I missed that part of the pathetic instructions they shipped with the seat. So the whole thing bent up in the middle. Took some not-so-mild persuasion with a mallet to straighten it back up.

I can barely tell what's what there.
Are you talking about the white plastic spacers that help the seat glide back and forth?

Re: Now I've done it
No, you can sort of see a bit of the mounting bolt at the far left of the slide. On that bolt, between the slide and the vinyl, should be a metal spacer, around 12mm. That slide should be straight from left to right but it's bent because the upholstery is too poofy.

Re: Now I've done it
So I have the heads on the 1835. The 2180 has developed a chirp and possibly a knock so it's grounded. I need to gather some odds and ends, scrub and paint the tin and new Empi exhaust, and put it together.
This is a frame from the video I did on the heads. Machinist didn't clean up the boogers in the head stud holes. Grrr...
Here's the video if you want to laugh at me. :)
