 I vote you keep the bike too. But just some words of caution:

When you crack one of these motors open, even when it's a motor that has
been running ok, you will likely find:

pitted lifters and/or cam

chrome cylinder plating worn through at the top

Oil pump shafts scored

Sludge trap full of grey putty/scored rod bearings

rough looking exhaust valves/worn guides

All of which add up to ca-ching if you want the motor fixed right.



73 Eldo (motor in the frame!)
