Today was D Day, bike in the conservatory and the strip down commenced. Head off with the engine in the bike so I could inspect the Pistons and valves. No damage to either and head gasket appeared to have a good seal, used my latest acquisition of a cam chain breaker from wemoto made it easier as I was able to split the chain and using part of an old key ring I dragged the new chain through cleaned the head and checked the valves. Block cleaned outside and head reinstalled and retourqed. Which is enough for one day, beer o clock now then tomorrow I'm going to put the cams in time it up rejoin the chain and button everything back up. With a bit of luck it should be up and running by tomorrow afternoon.
