Thanks for the response Jim. I assembled my 2110 kit from CB in 2014. It was one with the welded 3rd main too. After two oil coolers exploding and two engine pulls, the pressure relief valve didn't stick any more with the the help of a brake cylinder hone and lacquer thinner. The uncut studs were a surprise but the push rods were expected. I went with Weber 44s right away. They worked well but I wasn't satisfied with the drivability and choked them down by installing 32mm venturies, but losing 6 HP. I also swapped out the manifolds for a set of "space saver" manifolds from CB. These gave me about a 2" narrower engine overall, for easier installation and put the idle jets on the inside where I can see them and get to them easier. I must say that I enjoyed putting this kit together in spite of some of the trials and tribulations experienced. After market engine tin is just terrible as you say. Here's a couple photos of "Christmas Day" and after. I changed a lot of stuff on it after these photos......Bruce
