Nah, I'm trying to put it back together stock, but slightly improved. That's why I'm balancing the bottom end, and probably gonna do a 5-angle with some port cleaning. I'm gonna be using aftermarket valves/guides/seats that are allegedly longer-lasting than stock. I'm also going to be machining a groove into the guides so they can accept seals--stock guides are unsealed and adding a seal does wonders for oil consumption. I'll also be replacing the rings.
Probably won't be much progress documented for a few weeks, i'm waiting on these hard parts and sundries to assemble, meanwhile sandblasting a part or two after work every day in preparation.
