Hi, I'm rebuilding my 79sf. I found a good machinist who will do the work, but I have a slew of questions. Any help would be appreciated!!
I'm having the valves seated. The guides look shiney, so I think I will just replace the seals. By themselves the seals are expensive, but there are some gasket kits on ebay that advertise that they include the seals. The kits range in price. Are some better quality than others?
The pistons/cylinders are at the wear limit for each. Pistons and rings are std size. The rings are worn, so I have to choose whether to get std rings ($120) or WisCo.
Also, has there been a determination whether OS 1 rings will be ok with std pistons?
Has anyone had problems with the crank? Is replacing the bearings a good idea?
Thanks for suggestions.
As for parts... Anyone got an extra exhaust valve for a 79 laying around?
