Scoot beat me up. Lol, just finished the total engine rebuild--- put fresh gas in it. Wish me luck. Just waiting on my battery to charge. I was up until 530 AM today messing with it. Put the pulleys and body on today.
A few brainfarts. I put the head and cam on, timed right. I sat there for a second only to realize I put the bottom chain guide on backwards... lol..
No way the valve cover was going on with the guide sticking out 3 inches past the rockers. Let's see what else... oh yeah, I had THE hardest time putting the pickup(with 2 bolts) above the stator, never had that problem before. The wires were a pain to route. I got 2 nice size blood blisters from the main stand spring--- slipped off and pinched me when trying to put it on. No big deal.
Seemed like it took forever to do. The problem was I had the engine apart for about 45 days. Much easier and faster to do when doing the whole process of disassembling and reassembling not so far apart. Easier to remember..haha.
Oh well, I hope it goes well.
