I have never seen a cub engine dis-assembled, inspected and measured to check for wear. I would like to see this at a Cubfest, sometime.

I have a basket case engine here that a previous owner completely disassembled because he thought he had a serious problem only to find out he had a stuck valve. He ended up discouraged and sold the thing as was.

If any one has the stuff to do it you all can use it as a show and tell. Heck if everything is there (or if I need to order any parts) it might just end up as a complete, running engine when done. :D

I'll bring my bore gauge and mics. I have plasti-gage, but it may be too old, I'll check.

Thanks Gary! That should give the guys a good idea what to look for when working on theirs. It might put me a step closer to getting mine back togetehr also. Sounds like a win/win situation. :D

Would there be anyone at the Bash able to check out my Mag and maybe rebuild if necessary? It is not currently on a Cub
but I would like to replace a distributor with a Mag later this year and would like to have a good one ready.

Harlan, we can have a look at it but if Rick Spivey makes it to the Bash, we'll let him lay his hands on it.

Rick and I exchanged PM's last week and unfortunately he won't be able to make it this year. Bring the mag along and, as Gary said, we can have a look at it.

You can bring it but you might want to contact him and see how soon he needs it. I will be seeing him but I don't know how soon that might be.

Not really cub related, but I have a 140 touch control unit that I plan on bringing for new seals/gaskets.

I have a transmission I would like to bring. Boss has agreed to give me a tutorial on what to look for in a used tranny as to what is good, what is not, when looking to buy or sell one.
