Re: How do I flatten the top of the frame rail?
I didn't need the heat but that's how mine turned out as well. Slowly worked the area as flat as I could get it. Trimmed off the excess material & then buzzed the area w/flap discs to blend it all in for consistency.

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.
