Not the best of nights

cracking a beer with Mark Monday night after working on Yogi's engine all day
looked around the workshop at the engines I have here completed waiting to be shipped out or half built waiting on heads to return from my head man with new valve seats fitted

have 4 engines completed, all have Carrillo conrods fitted
have 5 engines built up to the head stage, all have Carrillo Conrods fitted (including Yogi engine)

that is a lot of Laverda Carrillo Conrods, have to order more, down to my last set

 
Nice build Red - that looks so clean and sorted.  Is that one of Andy's Merc chains on the primary?

If I could only find (and keep) the cash to get Keith to put some Carillos in the Jota, I would be a happy man. Sadly, every time I earn some money, something goes tits up in the house and I am pot-less again  :(

Still, the pot will fill again and maybe stay full long enough  ;)

started work on this problem early Monday, fired the engine Friday afternoon
many thanks to Mark for his assistance, invaluable team member at Redax

engine sounds good, had to up the pilot jets as compression ratio now 10.1:1 instead of 8:1
new ignition system, spins over good, starts well, probably due to the A11 cams, runs nice and quiet
put some more running time on the engine tomorrow and a quick check and it is gone

heading back to Sydney on Tuesday in a trailer thanks to Ian from OzLaverda Racing

one more engine crossed off the list
