Ok,

I'm planning to get ready to start puttin the parts together. That would
be the '73 Eldorado I have had in boxes for over 15 yrs. I did remove the
heads to make sure the cylinders looked OK.

Tommorow I plan to order a copy of Guzziology as well as some gaskets.

I've been window-shopping guzzi parts sites for some time, and have seen
gaskets come in a dazzling variety of combinations. I can get individual
gaskets, top-end gasket sets, whole engine and tranny gasket sets.....I

seen the top end set one place for about the price of the whole set at
another place.

I'm a bit confused by it all and would appreciate any insight from other's
experience.

A side note: the little valve keepers. My book says they should be

if the head is taken apart. I know it isn't a big deal, but all this

adds up and these little suckers are $5 a piece for a total of $40 for

a little thing. Do y'all always replace these?

Thanks in advance,

Terry Scanlon
