Need engine work done. Any takers?

[VonYinzer]

1982 Kawasaki GPZ 550.

Officially will not have a garage this winter so no engine rebuilds for me. The wife had to draw a line somewhere I suppose.
The GPZ is in good running order as of now, but with 22k on the clock it definitely needs a top end refresh.
Head gasket has a small leak, valves seem a bit wonky, etc. Usual wear and tear stuff. Anyhow, I'll be pulling the bike apart in a few months when the weather turns to shit. Piece by piece I can clean up, paint and reassemble the rest of the bike at work and in the living room. The motor needs a proper shop and the right tools though.
So, if anyone wants to make a couple bucks, and is ACTUALLY CAPABLE of the work hit me up. Thanks.

13mm shim under bucket.
I think I still have genuine Kawasaki manual for it
simple enough motor, done a lot of them
I'm too far away to be any use in building though

Maybe, not sure.
I sold cam chain tool for CB450 as I hadn't used it for over 25 yrs, few weeks later, needed it

Hows about I borrow and scan it? Send it back after.
