New block, same head(resurfaced), new valve stem seals, all new cam chain bits. I had one bent valve so I replaced that.

I put 100 kilometers on my bike. (60 miles) I rechecked the head bolts and they were all a bit loose. So I re-torqued those. I rechecked my valve clearances and they never changed. No oil leaks. So I'm pretty happy.

Good going. I'm glad your back on the road.
You made that top end rebuild seem so easy. I've been thinking about putting a kit in mind for 2 years now and you did it in 2 months. Maybe I'll get to it this winter.

Good luck on your rebuild when you decide to do it.
I had been thinking about doing this for awhile too. Only thing is I hadn't planned on doing it in the middle of the riding season, lol.Good going. I'm glad your back on the road.
