Quick update,
got the head gasket done, honed the cylinders and installed new rings, lapped the valves and new stem seals, cleaned up the intake and exhaust ports.
Everything great, but did have a moment where i saw what looked like oil coming out of the head studs, turned out to be the anti-sieze bubbling.
Here's the latest photo sporting my new front fender.

thanks, Mark
