Top end of the engine

After honing the cylinder and repainting with high temp black paint to give it a new lease on life, it's time to put this back on the engine

First the piston on the crank shaft, then a brand new gasket for the case, making sure it is level with the case. A base gasket for the cylinder, the cylinder itself, a top head gasket, the newly bead blasted head, a brand new Champion L86 spark plug and off we go

After cleaning the head, the decompressor assembly was also cleaned and the seat of the decompressor was put back in shape with the original Solex seat miller tool

Crank case gasket in place and leveled to make sure we have a level seat for the cylinder and cylinder gasket, the protruding tool on the front of the engine blocks the crank shaft when assembling the engine and prevents parts from moving excessively

Here it is with the rest of the top of then engine and.. a spark plug!
