The Strip starts

 After doing a compression test on the engine as the figures were so low I am going to overhaul the head. This will include de-coking and re grinding the valves new stem seals. and clean the barrels and measure the ware on the rings to see if a re bore is on the cards



Out with the engine.



 

Fair looking lump.

  


Off with the vent cap.



                         Head bolts next including the two inside top vent.


 


  
  
  After a jolly good clean of the head I can take out the valvesOff with the head





Two very messy pistons. 
  
  
  





Valves defiantly need re grinding and new stem seals as a minimum.
