Thx both metalstudman1 and SYCARMS, hope you enjoyed Fathers day.
Father and son mid-day project:
Followed this
A good learning moment for my son, as we both turned the engine over manually he learned basic cam/valve operation.
At TDC there was no gap, so they were not fully seated by the valve spring.
I set them at 0.10mm gap, used the 0.127mm as a no-go gage.
The anticipation was there, as my son cranked it and it showed 140psi I shouted out for joy!!
Went to Home Depot for some misc plumbing to route the new air cleaner past the frame
Final routing, zip tied to engine cradle frame to minimize any vibrations
end result:
Started right up, hip hip horrary!
Bonus is I instantly could notice the better power/torque, yep.
Guess when something slowly goes you don't notice it, then back to spec and "hey, that's nice and fun"
I let my son have the first ride, then I took my cruise on our property and private road, waving and smiling to the neighbors.
