The push rods, rocker arms, and new rocker shafts installed. Just need to check the dry lifter clearances and install the valve covers. 
Starting to come together now. 
2 of the cylinders installed. 
Getting everything laid out to start installing the cylinders. They came with new pistons and rings already installed and fit. All that's left to do is pull the piston out far enough to get the new piston pin installed and push the cylinder onto the engine. 
3/25/11 my cylinders showed up. They were done by Brown Aviation out of Tulsa, OK. They are now .015" oversized with all new exhaust valves, guides, seats, and intake seats and guides replaced as needed. 
Some days I look at it and wonder if it will ever fly again. 
At this point the magnetos and oil sump are installed and almost ready to install cylinders. I am also waiting for a new drive gear for the starter to finish assembling and installing. 
These are the new engine attach bolts, bushings, and washers.
