I agree. He turned the flywheel and is adding the clutch assembly, tuning a NOS Zenith carb I had floating around, and it will be for the most part stock - with stock manifolds, but 12V, and an orignal PCV assembly too. I took it apart before I shipped it and I had an 848 head rebuilt with new valves, springs, and guides. I didnt add hardened seats - but this is a light duty rig - and some zinc additive should help.

I prefer to keep it as it was designed - and not go crazy with dual carbs, dual exhaust, etc. I appreciate a smooth running, quiet ticking, well tuned sewing machine inline 6 as a true luxury to my ears.

Thanks, Phak1. Tonight - its ribs on the grill. Come onver from Upstate NY. Dinner at 5:30
