Good stuff :thumbup:

I'd take the opportunity to check your valve clearances, fit a front vaccum take-off nipple, fit/check manual cam chain tensioners.

Also, fit some Hi-Comp pistons, Mori cams, Mori heads, lightweight flywheel... :lol: :lol:

What's next on your list?

Yes chain tensioners will be done would love to pep the motor a bit but there's still enough umph to get me in trouble in this standard lump :-D, new clutch plates are needed and what does anybody know about the keevlar plates on eBay?? Anygood??. Then finish the rebuild ready for some thrash B-)

I've heard the EBC kits are good quality, but I can't say I've seen the eBay kevlar kits.

The standard motor is great as it is :) I just have a lightened flywheel and a couple of other non HP mods.

Keep up the good work dude :clap:
