Got the top end of the motor off and aside from some rust from sitting awhile the jugs and pistons n such looked pretty good. Gonna replace the pistons and rings and basically redo the rocker valve assymbly but it tells me that the motor was runnin pretty good! I took the heads and cylinders and rocker tops to my good buddy Randy who does an amazing head job and the stuff always comes back lookin brand freakin new! With some new H.D. gaskets and some chrome hardware the top end of the motor will look tight! Ordered new chrome rocker tops too, they will really offset the black wrinkle finish on the engine with just the right amount of shine.
Thinkin of doin somethin funky with the clutch cover and cam cover...dunno yet, maybe sandblast the chrome off and keep em raw or machine finish ..or just polish the shit out of them n pinstripe 'em.
Got an amazing bargain on a brand new S&S Super E carb from a friend with intake minifold. Deal! and its polished!
Should be a week or so before the heads come back..till then we find the frame!
