My first build

[Krandall]

ripped mine apart 2 years ago and havne't looked back, been a solid build to. Minus one issue w/ my TPS wire (my fault) I haven't had any issues with the actual build itself.

So does everyone agree that I should do valve springs and new head bolts? I may not be able to do the port but I'll live with that it it is the case. I just don't want to have to open it up again for a long time.

I'm usoing stock boltts @ 14-1 compression, valve springs are a good idea though

[desdak4]

So I should be able to use the ones I pull out or should I buy new? I will talk with DL700 on the springs when I call.

I used all the bolts i pulled out as long as the threads dont look or run in the case bad. I felt the same way when i tore into mine but i didnt have third gear so i had to. Its not bad once you get to tearing it down. It all goes pretty easy as long as you have a service manuel. You will be happy you did once you get a piston in it and ride it.
