20,000 miles
Stock except for tensioner and carb plug
Reason for rebuild, po stripped oil galley bolt leaking badly now.
Questions...
Valves, I am going to either face them and re-use or replace the valves...suggestions, part recommendations...ie springs or just valves and seals...
Cylinder, I am replacing rings, when honing the cylinder will I need to up size the piston or can I hone lightly and stay stock...
Are there any parts out side of gaskets, seals, rings that you all would recomend replacing?
One member has over 120,000 miles on his bike and the cylinder head has never been off.....others have been worn out with far less miles. When the head is off you need to clean your valves and head ports and inspect them....they may not need anything if they are in good shape.
If your cylinder and piston are in good shape, you just need a light hone to create a cross hatch pattern that will help the new rings seat.
