- oil pump rebuilt
- engine bored to 685, stock piston replaced with Wossner piston and rings, steel 3 ply head gasket
- cooling system cleaned and rebuilt
- carb cleaned, new vacuum slide (from HD), rebuilt with DynoJet needle and jet - then rebuilt again back to stock...somewhat a work in progress
