Keith opted to go with a different sleeve thickness so Larry got his turn, he's sleving his 4hp Nadler. This is his second time to sleeve an engine, he rebored a twin also. I think he's got the hang of it.

John is fitting the key on the flywheel, this is a motor his grandfather used to fish with. It's been in the shop a while, had to be sleeved, crank welded, bearings, accessories made. He left with it running, it will go in the bateau he had built,I'll get my "loaner" back.

John & Dickie watch as Jim straightens a prop shaft.

You guys sure do get stuff done. Here is a picture of my two newest twins, one's a Roberts, and the other is unknown, possibly Canadian, sitting on my trailer. I pored a nice cement slab where the trailer is parked a couple years ago, so that I can do work outside. It isn't working out so good right now.
