Here begins the reassembly. I bought a set of KolbenSchmidt pistons and cylinders off Ebay. They came with new pushrod tubes and a gasket kit as well. I was originally just going to reuse the original pistons and cylinders and save the KS ones for when I did a complete rebuild, but I figured I might as well use them. Cheap insurance. The cylinders here are painted with POR-15 Black Velvet for exhaust components. Hopefully that will not only help with cooling, but should also keep them from rusting.
