Parts back from machinist. Assembly continues.
I went with these 1mm over pistons from Scheuerlein in Germany over NOS pistons/rings because they use a 3 piece oil ring design where stock is a single. The pistons are coated which allows for a very tight piston/cylinder fit. The quality is high, they are faithful copies of the OEM pistons.
I usually bench shim the valves if the head is off so i don't have to mess with it on the bike. it looks like i have alot of shims but they are all in the same sizes from bikes i have parted out, luckily I had exactly what i needed from the last head rebuild.
Anytime you have the head or cylinder block decked you need to check and make there the oil passage is de-burred and has a chamfer, otherwise you can cut the o-rings as you press in the oil restrictors.
