Finally got the head rebuilt. Just waiting for some spare time to go in and collect the head shims.
Also rebuilt my carbs after a longish wait for the second gasket kit, never leave more than a week between disassembling and rebuilding these carbs!
Trying to get things together for the cruise this weekend but with everything else going on it isn't looking good. Still no brakes, no rego, no seats!!
I have a low comp head that I might attach to the motorbike carbs just to get the engine running again until I collect the shims.
