The head is stripped and going to the shop tomorrow morning to cut all the valve seats, then lap the valves, then check the seat width on every valve.... Good way to spend a sunday

Upon first inspection with my crappy micrometer, the crank is ok, appears to only be a bearing failure.... Find out tomorrow morning when I take it to work...

 The donor bike... Fukc it the crashed up twisted beeotch... I unbolted the engine and the frame went "KERRRTWAAAAANG" Crashed bike, bent frame, engine has 4300 original kms, was fogged and stored since 1989. Shaft drive though, however the rest of the internals match mine so it will be two engines into one... |
