  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Glad to be a member of this forum! Ive been chking you guys out for while, reading all the interesting posts and what not.

    Im 55 now....(good lord!) but still having fun with working on cars. I'm a self employed automotive mechanic and have been one my entire life. But what can I say, I like oil and grease!

    Im in the process of going through the 425 on my 65 Rivi Gran Sport, SuperWild Cat. Ive had the car for about 15 years and has been a great driver, Just time for a fresh Mill. Here are a few photos of the tear down. I was surprised when I pulled #8 Piston, sometime long ago it was knurled. It showed the most wear, but 020 over is all I have to go to make it right.

    Anyway, just wanted to say hi and Im glad to be here!

    PS This forum is so easy to post pictures! Great Job!
