after engine carb cleaner, razor knife, and a brass brush. each piston is labeled and will be going with the block to the machinist tommorow for measuring.

Joe, did you ever check to see if you still had 900 pistons, or if a previous owner had bored out that 900 cylinder?

My humble is to focus on working with what you have. Get some gaskets and any other parts you need to assemble the bottom end and get it together. you have a gorgeous frame that is begging to be put back together. Now is the time to focus on cleaning up/painting all the parts that are going to bolt on to that black beauty B) While you are doing all that (and it's ALOT), keep your eyes peeled for a lightly used cylinder and piston kit. Either from a member here, craigslist, pitstop..... wherever. Staying busy with the details will help you wait until a great deal on the cylinder and pistons turns up. :cheer:

well there you go!
make sure and verify axle size before you buy a wheel.
