New piston rings
 

Looks like the other how-tos are going to be on hold for a bit... I'm chasing down a smoking problem and today I did a leakdown test, it's nearly 30% on #4, and over 25% on 1-3 and all of it is coming out the oil fill. The up-side to all that is the eBay cylinder head I got appears to be holding strong, not so much as a peep out the intake or exhaust valves, did both string and stetho tests.

Good news is I will have my photographer (aka little brother) around tomorrow so I'll put up an engine removal how-to instead :D

Hope everyone else is having better luck with their bikes then I am [&:]
