Only one has a hex top, You would think that they would have done both at the same time if one needed replacement, Although it could have been the catastrophic event that broke the rod, also pooched one open valve and guide. i dont know...
I think I may just ask the machine shop to have a look at them. there is not really any play in them, but you can tell that they have been worn some. and the impression i got from the shop guy was that he really knows what he is doing.
He came higly recomended.
I have gotten this far, how about the bottom end. I cant detect any play or see anthing broken or worn out on the crank or cam. The lifters feel smooth as glass and they rotate easily.
Is there anything specific I should look at in the bottom end, or check, or should I just take it down for the sake of it. I am a little nervus about getting everything back together and in line and timed properly, not to mention the mass of the flywheels. But if you recomend it,
thanks
