by the way it seems head gaskets are in short supply here in the states. well i got 2 sets and both were faulty by erroded groves crossing the fire ring. those were sent back. crusinimage gaskets are 30 plus 10 for shipping, doesn't combine shipping for more either, 5 days from ordering in japan, it was here. so far it's working. haven't redlined it yet. after this last year i'm thinking of a different account name. maybe max halfthrottle.
one thing that i'm stumped over, is when adding the cylinders and head and cover, there's no preloading any thrust bearing, and as if it makes any difference because of the dowels if they get put in. but the way the cams where some are to the left and then some are to the right. so when buttoning them up. just go with if it looks fairly straight? or do you at least turn the crank over a few times to center cylinders, or the play in the crank will find and fill the play? oh and those 2 cam gear bolts a dot of lock time medium is recommended somewhere. i didn't add any only torquing them is kind of flimsy unless you use a gear wrench or like a clutch holder tool? i just held the kick starter with a knee and seemed to work.
