Well after $800 this one followed me home, was disassembled, someone had started rebuilding, had all new parts, but never finished, we
decided to disassemble further to check the quality of work, good thing, half of the valve springs were upside down, they hadn't lapped the
valves, they didn't use the new gaskets for the side plates, although they were in the parts box, there were two missing bolts from the pressure
plate,( broke off), and they had welded the ring gear on to the fly wheel, so we uninstalled all the valves, put the springs in right, lapped the
valves, order a new rebuilt flywheel, and stated sanding the individual parts and paint. Have to wait for the delivery of all the gaskets, bolts and
parts to finish, hope to have done in a couple of weeks.thensheet metal was in good shape, willmstartbsanding and finishing those this
weekend,although the rear fenders were trash, will have to replace those.will take off the rear wheels and check the rear end this week end.
