No doubt on that one regarding a gasket kit vs. individual pieces... ;)

I did (& will continue to do so) the same on both engine builds but junked the valve seals on the second build... Seals just didn't hold up and started leaking quickly. Possibly just a bad set...

Pictures on the re-build are always welcome, we're picture whores... :blush:

I rode it to the bar for a beer this afternoon. 8) 8)

First easy ride up the street to see if the gear box worked right
the clutch was dragging real bad but got better as I rode it.
I had used a scotch brite pad on an angle grinder
to clean up the hot spot's on the clutch steel's.

Ride back from the bar (5 back street block's) stopped and
did a few 8000 rpm launch's sliding the clutch out just under the tire spin.
Now the clutch works just like it did when I took it apart.
