You guys might be interested this engine.It was done in 1981 by a very reputable individual back then...short miles since then and we took it apart in about 2000.Everything was delightful so I put the lower back together then and it sat until now.Barrels were fab at .02" . The heads however suffered the cop bike "machinist" of the day treatment. Complete rebuild of the cylinder heads was mandatory here.Im a itchin to get the spring compressor out.Awesome forum guys.

FLT fork lowers is different - the torque multiplier is a great piece but sometimes using it you need to grow a third hand and arm

Have had friends claim they just needed to get home...then ride for Years with the "seat of My Pants" method... If yer close...they can be very forgiving...Not Recommended..
Of Course...I adamantly, recommend Against the Local tractor shop Valve Job also...Some Terrible **** out there... May as well Lap em in to a Full width seat, and go...
