top end rebuild

[dqnjuan]

I lost compression on my chop so fig the whole top end will need to be done. It was running fine so I have no reason to do bottom end just yet. Once I get the money I just want to make sure Im not forgetting to order any parts.

650 or 750 kit
valve seals
take valve head for machining
copper head nut washers

sound about right for those that have done it?

- the 650/750 kit is one issue-spend the cash if you can justify it, loss of compression is another-could be valvetrain or piston related, either way a new head gasket will be required

Yeah my head and base gasket had been weaping. I figure do as much as I can top end while its apart. Cam chain guide too on that list.

- cam chain ?
- exhaust gaskets ?
- valve adj cover gaskets or o-rings ?
- bore check - rings ? hone ? ... rebore ? pistons, pins and rings?

check, check and check lol but cam chain prolly good add. Got o rings, new exhaust gaskets, and the kit has all the rings and sh*t.
