After getting things cut apart and cleaned up it was time to stick them back together. Using .023 wire with 75/25 shielding gas.

After they were welded up. I took my time and skipped around but there was still a slight amount of warping. Probably impossible to have zero warping without body work.

A skilled TIG operator could prob get it done but that's why they charge what they do. Kudos to your effort. Looks great from here!

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
