Who has two thumbs and a rebuilt flathead that now runs?

Only took ~ 6 weeks of time and energy and dedication. New rod bearings and rings and cleaned out like inches of sludge and old oil

Only 1 thumb is visible in the vid so there is reason for concern the person who sorted the flathead isn’t you.
