Re: longtime overdue makeover
Good stuff
I'd take the opportunity to check your valve clearances, fit a front vaccum take-off nipple, fit/check manual cam chain tensioners.
Also, fit some Hi-Comp pistons, Mori cams, Mori heads, lightweight flywheel...
What's next on your list?

Re: longtime overdue makeover
Yes chain tensioners will be done would love to pep the motor a bit but there's still enough umph to get me in trouble in this standard lump :-D, new clutch plates are needed and what does anybody know about the keevlar plates on eBay?? Anygood??. Then finish the rebuild ready for some thrash B-)
Re: longtime overdue makeover
I've heard the EBC kits are good quality, but I can't say I've seen the eBay kevlar kits.
The standard motor is great as it is I just have a lightened flywheel and a couple of other non HP mods.
Keep up the good work dude

I do like the darker paint on your engine [THUMBS UP SIGN]
Re: longtime overdue makeover
That looks great, same colour I'm thinking of!
