pura vida update!






Exciting!
Got the heads and cylinders back today and they look amazing! We replaced a few things in there but overall it just needed a go through. The heads and rocker tops as well as cylinders were all sandblasted and painted high temp gloss black. I decided to go through the clutch and make sure everything was tight and as other than a new chain tensioner everything was great! Looks like the front sprocket is relatively new as is the chain....cool. The cam side of the motor is always tricky but i ventured into it and took the cam cover off to trick it out and lighten it up a bit. Noticed that the lifter end play was a bit excessive so I'm ordering new tappet blocks and probly lifters. The cams look perfecto as do the shims so after replacing some black stock hoses with stainless steel ones we are goin to re-time the motor and replace all the gaskets and put her back together using all new chrome engine hardware...badass!
