I won’t comment on each item you cite for “modernization” in your last post, but suffice it to be said that there’s a lot of money to be spent… or saved by good research.
Definitely good advice. Research is why i haven't spent any money yet, since I dont know whats good and whats not.

I did misremember what the description said. It was the hardened valves that they were talking about.

But im not buying anything right now until i get the motor out and apart to see what kind of condition its in.
