Well, whatever you do, get a service manual before you start.

Good luck, I hope it's ok. Keep us updated. If the bores look clean when you get the borescope you could check the compression to see if it's ok.

Okay, endoscope in hand and of course the head is too large to fit into the spark plug hole, so these are the best shot I could get. Upon viewing, it appears that the chamber is clear of debris. Wasn't able to fit the scope down the throat, so no pics from there. I guess I need to take the throttle body out just to be sure.

Update - dismantled the scope a little and was able to peek down the throttle body further, saw nothing. Put everything back together. Needed a new battery, got that and installed it, fired it up. Running good, to it around the neighborhood, no issues!!! Ready to roll - next project put my HogPro Niners with rotor and pulley, then cut up my front wrapped fender. Pics are forthcoming.

Good for you. It's a lesson learned, and didn't end up breaking the bank.
