I'm pretty sure as I think about this that its probably due for a top end rebuild with 43k on it. Seeing the condition of the cam I'm certain it's overdue. So I'm looking at piston and rings, cam, lifters etc. and it already needed brakes. I'm looking at $1500. I think it might be the end of the line for this one.
Do you think I could get $4K for it? It's going to have to sit now until it sells or I can justify the cost of repairs.

As long as you aren't smoking or leaking excessively then I wouldn't worry about the top end.
Hell I have seen some go way over 100k if everything is still running normally.
I get that you are getting frustrated with your bike but don't let that frustration get to you so that you make a bad decision.
Step back take a breath have a beer and then decide what you are gonna do.

wow R U lucky you are just at the point, that high carbon steel sheads off into the engine
take it all apart - save the cam gear - lifter rollers if you have the tool - a 27 cam - inner bearing --
they sell an in line filter it looks like a lawnmower gas filter - it has a fine screen and a magnet and it will catch every bit if steel floating in the system < you need that

So just cam and lifters $305 for an evl3010 no gear and vthunder lifters. Why ev27 vs evl3010? I remember reading about this awhile back and I thought I wanted a 3010 but I don't remember why. Doesn't look like this purchase is happening for awhile but I'll start a list and decide what to do later after I have a full list of everything I'll need if I go that option.
I'd like to see this magnetic filter too, do I splice that inline in one of the oil lines?

As to lifters, no need to spend anymore than you have to. Johnson Hylifts are all you need and can be had for around $135 shipped from parts4powertoys.
This video is pretty representative of the type of power the 3010 can provide... doesn't seem to have an "end" really. I want to ride a bike with an EV27 to compare one day.
Keep in mind this is pretty mild... I have some video of 1st gear pulls up to 5k RPM in each gear but I'm probably not going to share them on the open board...

WOW
I couldn't add to what has been said so I'll just agree with the majority.
Set it aside and search for a good deal on the parts needed.
I tore mine down because it lost a head gasket at 52k. Everything mic'd out fine, set of rings and honed the cylinders.
I'll bet you can come up with a good used cam,seen a good many for sale.
Used lifters ahhh that would be a stretch, new would be better.
Best of luck to ya WP
Called a friend in OK he has a stock EVO cam in good shape. let me know if ya want to go this route. No charge and I'll get him to ship it to ya

Hell for that matter I have my stock cam that has just been sitting in a box.
If you really want it I can send it to you KP but I highly recommend you getting a better cam.
It will work but it is gutless IMO.

The guy I called I really thought he had a EV27 left over from doing a BIG upgrade not long ago.

He can have mine if he wants it.
I'll even pay shipping in the spirit of Christmas.
