On to the cylinder head

I did a lot of deliberating and discussing with my machinist before committing to the full internals parts list for the build.  Now the bits-n-pieces are starting to come in, but the pistons and rings will take some time to get made. 

 

Sooooooo....... the first assembly to get some love will be the cylinder head.  The pile of parts below will soon make for one, well built up cylinder head.  That's a set of stainless VAC valves, HD dual springs, and rocker locks, along with the KM Cams forged steel rockers.

Well .... the update on the cylinder head front is not so great today.  The rocker shafts came out way too hard, and look like they have had some abuse in the past.  The cam seems ok, and the head casting looks healthy enough.  Hopefully after honing the rocker bores everything else checks out ok, and we just need to get a pair of rocker shafts.

Today was a simple thing.  I ordered two new rocker shafts, and dropped them off.  I think the machining will kick off in earnest very soon.  Just waiting my turn in line now.
