Hello everyone just thought I would show everyone what I just hauled home. WOW what a piece of IRON!
Now the fun begins! So far  I know I'm needing an EX rocker arm, I have 2/3 of the broken one. Don't have the end with the lash adjuster.
I pulled the head and the valves and seats don't look to bad. Ex valve looks near new and guide doesn't feel worn at all. Intake valve doesn't look new but it's not bad, guide has wear but still servicable I believe I will give them a Lapping and call that good for now.
I have not pulled the piston and rod yet but all feels ok, one thing I noticed,
there is no oil slinger on the rod. I run a magnet around the crankcase sump but I found nothing with magnet. I did find some pieces of material that look like coal....bout the size of a thumb nail 1/4"-3/8" thick???
I haven't got a manual for it yet, fellow I bought the unit from said he has one and will send it soon as he finds it. I probably will not go much further with the teardown til I get one.
PLEASE advise me of any pitfalls you all can think of that I will or may encounter. Thanks
