The parts list shows an o-ring for the tappet adjustment covers so those will be replaced with all the other gaskets and o-rings.

Any areas requiring sealant will get either aviation form a gasket or Hondabond.

And yes I have access to a large mill welder and grinders.

I work in thermal spray so I basically paint with metal. Well, I did. Now I’m the engineering manager. Respectable n stuff.

Well, I didn’t get the motor out.

But I did get the carb off, and that will be in its way to Curtis in the morning. Bowl is full of rust but otherwise seems okay. Timing is poor as well so I’ll get back a good carb.

Exhaust next- if anyone needs a DG exhaust, let me know.

Blasted up the header today. It’s going to need a lot of paint to look decent. We’ll see I guess… flat paint rather than semi-gloss may help hide some of it.

Tape pulled the clear off the front hub so had a set back there. I’ll do the black first I guess.

Blasted and painted the clamp and cover for the thumb throttle. Need to do some cosmetic work on the cable too.
