[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 54754, member: 597"] Hi there all, Ok yes Bill they are a type of HD decompressor, although they suit the big cubic inch engines and are very high quality about $160 USD for the pair. I am unsure of the make of valves, but I could find out.....I know about the ones you mentioned, that are undercut near the head, and yes that would be an issue for the lower guides. Tim the liners are scalloped out around the inlets, as when I checked the clearances the tip of the inlets was too close. I think on the front cylinder it actually clipped it. I did all the clearance checks only using the inner valve springs, which made turning the engine over much easier. There is not much left in it now, the primary cover will go on tonight, and only have fuel lines, cables, and wire up ignition kill switch and Tacho wire. The kill switch is an American Pingel brand which is a quality item...I do not want issues with dodgy switches playing up on me. My 15 year old son in the blue shirt was very happy to sit on the near complete bike for the first time, and the next is of myself. Cheers for now......Greg. [/QUOTE]
