No problem Carl, keep the input ccming, even the late ones too
Got some great news today, the 848 head is crack free and rebuildable. Made a tactical decision to recut and reuse the stock intake valves & seats. The exhausts will be replaced (stems were highly worn) new guides and new hardened exhaust seats. The springs will be tested and reused if they pass.
The block is back from the dip tank and he said it cleaned up and looks good. He'll magnaflux, measure and bore it out soon.
Said he's had a rush of engine machine work lately. He does good work and his reputation is keeping him very busy.
Will be dropping off the crank for regrind now. Probably see if he'll resurface the flywheel too. It's not cracked but has a few ridges.
