yea i had afew set backs with the build, just need to order afew more parts next friday. when i originaly pulled the engine apart it was in one hell of a mess, the piston was burnt to buggery and the cylinder was scored and scratched, plus the valve stem oil seal are shot (but just about useable) the valves themselves are wrecked and the cylinder head needs to be replaced because thats also been through the wars. so im just waiting for sum more parts before i go ahead and put the other parts onto her. btw does anyone know of a place where i can get that special 'star' ker for the bottom exhaust bolt, plus does anyone know of a good way to remove a zaust baffle? apart from all that i had to sling my new racing carb on because my oem carb gave up the ghost and decided that the engine no longer needed fuel!! now i have the new carb on im running quite quick but the poor engine cant really take it, so the sooner i get the rest of the bits the better. hows things been going on here?? how is everybody?
