I for one will be following what you do closely. I'm not too sure what I will do with my Jacobsen. Even stock it looks good for a 1940's or 50's build, but of course taking it down as you are will take it back to a much earlier look, more appropriate for an early Indian. Thanks ahead of time for sharing.Steve, that engine will look great leaned back against the seat post. I'll have it out of the blower this evening (kind of a night owl), get her running then disassemble it so the flywheel and castings can be removed. Will post pics here as it progresses. Rick
