New in StL. with roughly 75% of an F2!
Hey guys. Just wanted to post up and say hey. I got about 3/4 the way through building up my F2 before discovering this site that answered most of my funny questions. It's mainly plasticless, and will be until I find some cheap 1994 white/red/black scheme rear panels and front upper fairings.
I unbent it like so: (previous owner wreck)
...took it apart like this:
...discovered this:
...and finished with this while I wait on a cam chain:

It's worth noting that the cam chain is being held vertically, so it would naturally just slop over. It's capable of holding itself up only because pretty much every link is partially/totally seized. I was just casually checking the valve clearances, and I noticed a KINK in the CAM CHAIN 
between the two cam gears. I said to my self, "Holy Shamoley." and I proceeded to disassemble the valvetrain to see what else had occurred. I think I got away clean. All the valve clearances checked out, and the composite chain guides look to be in servicable condition. Is there anything else (besides compression and weird looking spark plugs) I should be eying on an F2 powerplant with 32k on it?
