I have finished reassembling my engine. the only "mods" ended up being polishing the piston crown and cylinder head surface, and installing a thin head gasket. the immediate effect is that it started right up in 30F temperatures. something it has never done before. I have not gotten the bike on the road yet, but it might be above 40F next week, so we might get a road test soon. I am hopefully optimistic. I will also have my compression tester this weekend, so we can see if I actually managed to increase the compression. Fuel injection is still on the table, but not a sure thing yet.
