    just thought I would add, if it was me and was in your budget. I would change valve springs to beehive springs, as do not need as much valves seat pressure. so will take more wear and tear off the valve train.

    I’ll chat with mechanic today to see where I’m at with the cash, it adds up quick!

    Thanks for the knowledge fellas

    Yep I do all my own work.

    The only work I out-sourced was some of the specialist engine work I don't have the equipment for.

    I gave that work to Mark Hood.
    He reconditioned and ported the heads (new valves & springs, cc'd them etc), made sure the flywheels are all true and fitted new crank bearings and gave the trans a good going over for me.
    I'm just doing it as a project, something to tinker on, should be a good thing when I'm done

    Mate, hats off to you!, I’m gonna get an old bike when I retire and teach myself how to do a rebuild!.
    Atm I need my mechanic to do it all for me, but I’ll learn eventually... a hobby.
    Cheers and thanks for the info
