Top-end Rebuild, Part 3

This is the rear rocker box that was leaking at the corner. You can see
where the gasket was compromised.

Both heads, nothing appeared to have failed.
Getting down to the cases.
Little closer, more detail.
The other side of the bike. A little carbon built up on both pistons.
Cylinders looked good, can still see honing marks.
Will get the heads and cylinders down to the machinist in the A.M.
Curious to see what the measurements are of the cylinders and pistons. Rings
are in good condition, none broken or seized.
Clean, thanks to regular oil changes.
Down to the cases. Now it is time for the tedious job of cleaning and prepping
for the assembly. I have about 3 hours into the job now. The assembly
will take three times that I'm sure. More pictures to come...
