no pics yet, putting engine back together- new gaskets on anything that was taken off- I love the little design features on this thing. I torqued the head down- assembly lubed and installed the pushrods and lifters- put the roker arm assembly back on- Now I need to put the lifter/pushrod side cover back on and then I am going to check timing and adjust valves- then install the rebuilt distributor, generator and starter-
I have to rebuild the carb still, then put it - I will paint it first- I waited until getting the bulk re-assembled to paint- I am painting the manifold with stove paint- black, engine gray, carb unpainted- air cleaner with semi gloss black- same with the bodies for the gen and starter.
I will get some pics up soon, next will be blasting and restoring the frame and brakess and suspension.
