Parts list "evo" rebuild
So I'm getting ready early for my bikes 30th birthday party,(winter).Getting a parts list together so I have an idea on cost, ordering what I can from J&P CYCLE to utilize my gold member savings. I have some **** picked out,looking for recommended items, pros and cons,as this will be popping my cherry. My first V8 went great and I want the same outcome with this rebuild.
This is all I wrote down so far.....
Ev27 Andrew
Hastings rings
Ss quick push rods
Jim s wrist pin
That's it so far,wanted Jim's tappet but $100 each ????

Pins are cheap enough, don't want to leave any worn parts behind. Figured I would replace the push rods with adjustable incase I need to get in the bottom end in the future. I would hate to have to cut new stock rods in future.

OEM lifters work fine with an EV-27 (although I have never heard a bad thing about S&S lifters...), so do solid pushrods (that`s my setup).
OEM wrist pins if they are cheaper.
While the cylinders are off, have the machinist true the bottoms, it will go a long way toward eliminating any future base gasket leaks.

FWIW stock pushrods are way cheaper than the adjustable ones.
You are better off taking the top end off again IMO.

Oh No!! Mr. Bill!
Some make it sound like adjustable pushrods are going to come loose and hit you in the head like a bullet.
The S&S quickies will do just fine.

Was told the motor is untouched when purchased. All comments are being noted/weighed and appreciated, now certain gaskets should be metal ??? Base ? Head should be stock thickness ? I don't want to increase compression to the point of having to change everything else around. Plus it's enough to kick as it is.
