Can you believe the compression was still good and less than 2% between the cylinders? I pulled it down because my rocker bushings were worn and my gaskets were leaking oil.

Apparently your valves are seating properly, and the baked-on stuff was making your combustion chamber smaller.

just gas I found my rattle one of my wrist pin keepers came out. How do you get those out? Mine are like flat key chains. They overlap almost 50% of each other. since I'm replacing I drilled them

Take a small flat blade screwdriver, then lift the end a little and hold it out of the groove, get a second small screwdriver and run it around, like taking a tire off a rim.

there's no way to grab it, they overlap. I tried the screwdrivers. these are not C-clips

getting there. I have to go borrow a valve spring compressor. I have one but it's to big. I'm going to have to buy new jugs

I know what you're saying, but I've looked and looked and these clips don't have the little tab to grab with a screwdriver. they're straight. doesn't matter I got new coming

doesn't matter I got my Weiscos in and they use c clips. Besides if pistons come off new ones go on. All my parts are in but I got to put all my time in building the trailer for Augusta. I got one head finished tonight

Between working on that trailer and trying to get the bike running I'm tired!. Got my heads finished, my cylinders honed. Ready to put them in the dishwasher when no one is looking. painting all of it black pearl.

just got home from setting up the catering trailer at the masters and finished putting the bike together and just fired it up. Riding around doing an easy break in. burning off paint and gasket shellac
