Frankly, if you're happy with the performance, why change anything? As long as the bike hasn't been abused, 58,000 miles is a long way from an Evo being worn out.
Since your bike already has an aftermarket cam, it's very possible that the original lifters have been replaced, too. If I were you, I'd contact the original owner who did the work. I'm sure he'd be glad to tell you what mods were done.

Fair comment! So I wont know anything until the stripdown.
Thing is....Im enjoying riding the bike so much this year,after last years gremlins,that it will be a winter or early very spring job.
Many thanks to ALL who responded . Have a good summer . Bungo

Hey BungoBill,
If your pleased with the performance and concerned about the state of your engine with 58k miles ( not alot for an Evo, FYI ) ask yourself, is there excessive valve train noise? Does it burn oil? Is there anything to indicate it's not working as intended? If the answer is no. Then do a compression and leak down test. If both turn out satisfactory, ride happily in to the sunset knowing your ride is in good working order.

Donnie, the best advice I can give, based on personal experience, is change your exhaust for a 2-into-1. I have a SuperTrapp SuperMegs on my Evo. You will get improved low/mid range torque, where most of us ride. Longshots won't improve your performance in the same way if at all.

91 Ultra 1340. Andrews Cam Kit.
Hi Guys, Time flies! I posted that thread in 2010. Know somethin...I havent done anything re. stripdown to inspect Cam etc.,etc. or any other stuff that I spoke about at the time. As someone said...why change things when you are happy with the bike & its performance.
Next problem I have is rust in the frame at the usual places but I dont even want to think about that at the moment although I will be asking for advice in the very near future. Happy riding. Bungo
