Im slowly getting ramped up to rebuild the engine in my 1971 xs1-b, and baught the other overhaul kit from mikesxs. Not the Athena one, the other one. Looks like It will have enuf stuff for a upper overhaul. But id doesn't have any seals, just valve cover O-rings, base/head gasket, valve stem seals, breaker housing orings/gaskets. I will have to buy the seals you can see when you take the points housing covers off.
Im doing it because I have found aluminum in the side filter. So Im suspecting the cam chain guide is fubar. But since I will be in there, I may as well clean up the cylinders, and mic the bore. I noticed today the guy that runs the mill at work has a dial bore gauge, and knows how to use it, So I will be able to get a reading on the jugs. Hopefully just a honeing stone will do, but I doubt it.
Is it a worthy gasket kit? Its made in tiawan, but what isn't these days?
