Top end rebuild

The top end rebuild is going well, Ive scrubbed and polished all of the horrible black coke away and reseated the valves with some good ol' grinding paste.

Before:
 

After: **GLEAM**
 lapping valves: (Budweiser optional)

Then I re-honed the bores to get back that lovely cross hatched look;

And finally I fitted the pistons back on after putting on the new rings that I got from Heiden Tuning in Germany. A lot cheaper than trying to buy them over here!!

  
Now I just need a second pair of hands to help me get the top back on and fix the cam chain back in place etc......'DAAAAAD!!'
