Re: OST-031: A delicate dance
If you had to guess how many hours would you say went into this one? port work - about 30 hours : chamber deshrouding, and equalizing chamber volumes - 6 hours : waiting for the machine shop to do their thing - 2 weeks Found another suspect retainer... swapped it out http://ost.ebeans.ch/albums/use...
