I have this P12 power unit that I bought a while back. I have it torn all apart and I was thinking about making it a winter project. It is small and simple enough that it won't take up the whole shop like a tractor will :lol: The pistons and sleeves are in good shape, I will just hone the cylinders, clean up the pistons, install new rings and grind the valves and seats while it is apart.
