A certified welder did the gas tank welds for me.

We have a group of contractors working within our company that does alot of our stainless piping (there's a buuuuuuuuunch of stainless piping @ my work as it's a food manufacturing plant). They build all kinds of stuff & several of them are certified for pressure vessels which is why I just had them do it.

I got some parts in today & had to break out the grinder as there was a slight interference when installing. I ran out of daylight (I was working in my driveway tonight) so maybe more progress tomorrow.

I also rummaged through the previously mentioned stainless guys 'scrap' bin. They let me snag a bunch of demo'd piping of which I cut off multiple bends. So far I've accumulated 8x 90° 2.5" mandrel stainless bends. Looks like I'll be doing a stainless exhaust if I can scrounge enough pieces....

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.
