Greetings Loopers,
The good news is I got my heads back yesterday. The bad news, the machinist
went out of business after installing new valve guides but did not ream them
to fit the valves. Can anyone recommend someone to fit the valves and maybe
check the seats & valves?
Secondly, after months of trying to remove the rear motor mount and against
my better judgment I cut through the 2 aluminum spacers and finally got the
left footpeg and gear shift lever off. The bolt is still stuck in the trans
with about 1.5" sticking out on each end. Is there anything I can do besides
heat the bottom of the trans and tap & twist the bolt finishing with a
liberal application of penetrating oil, let sit overnight, and repeat ad
nauseum?
Are those aluminum spacers obtainable?
Thanks,
Al Sloan
