Yeah, unfortunately, it smeared a little, so I will spray some clear dope over it to preserve it and hope the dope doesn't smear it further. If I mist it, it should be fine.

That looks like an older Thunder Tiger 4 stroke. The one to the right of it would be the newer version with the black head.

It took serious thumb pressure when I first tried to install it. Of course, I put the white o-ring spacer on too. 🤣 Fits perfectly without it and looks sharp too. Now I need it to warm up a bit to run it.

How long have you had you PSP, mine is upward of 20 years old. I have a set of bars with notches ground in them for the 125. I worried that the notches might weaken the bars, but they didn't. I make certain that the upper end fits in that relief perfectly.
PS, I received a brand new Super Tigre Silent muffler and header yesterday, 29 bucks shipped. It came from a guy called the Arkansas Peddler.

Can’t remember how long I had it but bought it used off that auction site several years ago. Way better than those wooden test stands I use to make out of scraps. I should probably look into cutting those notches in the beams or maybe just make a second pair with notches.
ST silent muffler? Are we talking about the big can?

Is that the muffler that looks a lot like an old Briggs and Stratton muffler?
Very quiet

Now you all can call me a Loonyticker, I had some left over Saito 82 parts, some of my own, some from one of Gary's care packages. I bought a crankcase and installed mostly 82-A parts in it, I had the B cam housing. It has a new cam, new RMJ, (Ring Master Jr.) piston ring and new Boca Bearings. The new cam is interesting, it has a bronzish look, might not mean much, I don't know.
Early rough finish rocker covers to look cool.

Looks good Dave. I see one of your 90deg vent connectors peeking out too.
I wonder if Saito maybe added some bronze to the powder metal mix for toughness, or mabe a titanium nitride coating.
Those built from bits engines are special!

Using my FA 450 on my formerly electric Milwaukee chainsaw. Looks weird but starts just as easy with mo par. ( Just kidding)

I just acquired a NIB FA-450R3 that had been sitting in the engine display case for years. BEAUTIFUL engine.
Although I am mostly into turbines now, I still fly everything from control line to R/C.
I couldn't pass up the deal but I really don't have it earmarked for any project.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Bob
