Got this bad boy from drewski. Showed promise. youtu.be/K2-UavsgtaEPut it all together. Ran the engine for 20 minutes total then she started smoking more than a rich triple with bad check valves. Found this under the valve lifter on the 1st cylinder exhaust side. Valve seal has disintegrated. Should be straight forward to replace.  |

I'm sure you'll have it singing in no time.  Right now, I'm wishing I still had that unit. I'm looking for some engine parts myself.  |

From the look of the head mod, there is a big lift cam in there. Make sure the seal isn't being beaten up........

I love the paint job...can it be saved? Sure. If I leave it as is. There's some rough spots on the tail. You know me, I can leave body work pretty ratty. More concerned about functionality at this point. And we are not functional. |

Head is off, all 4 exhaust valve seals are shot. Little bits under the lifter just like the 1st. Pistons look good  |

Got a valve compressor from p auto. 55 bucks. 2 broken lifter springs so far 4 out of 8. Working the exhaust side first. 1 bad valve guide on cyl3 and a peened valve on cyl 2 that wont come out. Cam lift is 0.420". The broken spring in 2 must've bound up and mushroomed the valve.  |
