Guess I should update this thread......
The block and pistons are due back on Wednesday (took way longer than I was told🤬) and once I have those I can start putting the engine back together with all the other new parts I ordered from Honda.
Short course racing has all but died out around here except for a series that I absolutely refuse to give my money to so I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do once it's back together. I'm basically hanging my hat on the hopes that Desoto Motorsports park in Louisiana who has just finished a year long track build gets something going this fall. There are a few local motocross tracks in the area that have SxS tracks that I can take my junk to for practice and beat on it until my heart is content but no racing. 😴
