sometimes owning a vintage bike you inherit 40+ years of other peoples fuck ups, which im dealing wih right now on my CL, the threads on the LH cylinder plug hole finally gave way, im going over my options and figuring out what i want to do with it. should i scrap the head, locate a new one and do a top end rebuild, or go the way of the time-sert.
i havent rebuilt one of these before, but im mechanically proficient, does the entire motor need to come out to do the top end? what all should i replace while in there? rings, tensioner, cam chain(can this be done without pulling apart the bottom end?) whats a good shopping list of things i should pick up to do up the top end?
the whole situation is a little frustrating but hopefully i can get everything sorted.
