Re: Bent valves.
Cheers Carl. It's not too bad but I might give it a bit of a tickle - good to know that I won't need rubber gloves and breathing apparatus
Re: Bent valves.
A brass wire wheel in a drill makes the job an easy one. Do it with the valves dropped in to avoid damaging the seats.
That's for the heads, the pistons can be scraped and wire brushed with the rotary brush as well, it sort of polishes the surface, less stuff can stick thereafter.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Re: Bent valves.
Replace bolt finally arrived. Bolt in, valve cover on. Oil-cooler fastened, radiator on and coolant filled.
Then, holding my breath, I fired her up. Brilliant, no death-rattles, just a beautiful v-twin thump.
A huge thanks to everyone who helped keep me sane and the guidance that kept the confusion at bay - Carl, you played a blinder
For someone who had only ever changed the oil it's been emotional - fingers crossed the weather will hold.
The smile has returned.

Brian I've just changed your email address and put "at" instead of "@" for your security. Anybody wanting to send an email to you should realise they need to put the correct "@" in themselves without any spaces in between,
