My 1970 CB350K Winter project

Really liking the graphite color so far!

Still polishing the crankcase, and thinking about rubbing it down with aluma-black to darkenit.

But have most of the major engine parts painted, so gently test stacked it to see how it looked together!

Interesting how the paint lightens up in the sun and the flash.

It's incredibly satisfying removing the masking tape after painting isn't it?

First, a happy clean piston waiting for new rings!

Next, the problem child - how do i get this ?rusted? Stuck ring off the piston?

I've heated it up over my gas stove, and sprayed it down with penetrating oil immediately after in the hopes of getting oil behind that ring.

No dice.

I cannot get my circlip spreader (my ring modifier of choice) into the tiny space. Google has tried, i need a bit of advice!

Bonus layout shot, trying to get organized in the hope of putting this old girl's heart back together.
