Engine overhaul

Since the engine did not come with any log or paperwork, I needed to at least pull the jugs to inspect the piston heads, cylinder walls and rings. While I was breaking the engine apart, I figured I should give the engine a brand new paint.

I did not have access to an aviation type engine stand, so I improvised the engine mount I got with the motor with an automotive engine stand. It works out great but would not consider a run-up until I find something more stable.
