Update
Ok . . . So I have everything I took off back on.Put new seals on the breather covers, cylinder head cover, and cylinder head (+ O-rings) as well as the oil pan. While the oil pan was off I cleaned the gunk out and cleaned the screen. All in all not bad for a 35 year old bike…few little pieces of POs blue gasket crap that was everywhere but no random pieces of metal or anything gnarly so I'm pleased there. Also installed the exhaust with new gaskets, even if it took a few minutes to figure out how the split ring collar things went back in . . . Now I have to reinstall the carbs add fluids and hook everything back up and test fire! Fingers crossed.
Also have to rebuild the master cylinder, bleed breaks, install new mirrors, the license plate bracket and tail light, new rear suspension, mount the headlight, and mount the new speedo n tach more permanently than I have them now.Then once I figure out the wiring she SHOULD be good to go! I'll still have to re-jet and tune and figure out what I am doing for a seat..…and in the future lap the valves, replace piston rings, rebuild the front suspension, new paint, new tires, etc etc etc lol
I did take pictures but didn't post them as . . . well they don't really look too different lol. The seals just look a little nicer. If anyone wants them posted though just ask. Also, when replacing the 6 rubber seals that cover the head bolts do you use some sort of silicone or locktite OR install dry? I saw both done when previously watching youtube videos . . . thoughts???
