1 car jack
1 motorcycle jack
4 jack stands
1 angle grinder
1 pneumatic grinder
1 rivet gun (remove rivets)
1 large bandaid
4 towels to clean up blood from my finger
electrical tape to field wrap my bloody finger
toilet paper to wrap my bloody finger
Gotcha.

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.
