At least until I get this back together:
Any tips on getting that damn primary off. It hasn't been off in at least 3 years, probably more.
I have a good feeling I'll need a hone job and new pistons (which gives me even more of an excuse to bore to a 600) as there is some fairly significant blow-by on the exhaust side, nothing horrible, but still a good reason to at least throw new parts in. Plus there was a faif amount of blow-by where the y-pipe meets the exhaust, so that will need to be fixed too. My room-mate is going to help me do some port/polish work and carb rebuilding, amung other performance enhancing modifications.
All in all, it's is fairly decent shape for a 18 year old engine that wasn't cared for by the book (mild abuse and neglect)
