Picked up a little flat bed trolly of marketplace today to make moving the motor easier on my back .
Hope to get a few hours in the garage tomorrow to finish cleaning the engine and have a tidy up .

Removed the head bearing from the bottom yoke and found that both yokes are twisted . I’ve got to check the forks now ,
Hope the forks are straight tho

Yep you guessed it the tubes have a slight bend in them .
Now to weigh up my options on what direction I go from here .
Feeling a little deflated now as it’s going out the build back a month or 3

Annoying as it is, it's better to have found that out now,
