Motor Assembly Complete

Thanks Nappy, it took awhile for this post because I received the extended side panels back from the welder and had a go at finishing them. Then I had the hood that the paint sort of crinkled on and I also worked with it to resolve that until I sort of got tired of trying to rattle can without runs and some other issues, so I took a break to finish this Motor. I may have another go at the hood. The runs are slight but there, and there are a couple areas that have sort of cratered, not sure why.

Thanks GT, I think so too.

Thought I would insert pics of the Cylinder Block, Piston/Slipper Assembly and Retaining Ring. I did not disassemble the one that I am using for this build; however, I had one that I did take apart so I am adding these pics just for reference. I job-lotted these all in step #157 above.

A.) Cylinder Block
B.) Retainer {Inner Flange toward Spring}
C.) Spring
D.) Washer {Small opening towards spring}
E.) Retaining Ring {Spirol Lock}
F.) Slipper Retainer
G.) Piston {Slipper} 9x (Must be returned to the same cylinder position)

Thanks Geno, Honestly it's been mostly learning as I go, I have watched some videos and read some info on rebuilds.
