I spent a lot of time rebuilding my top end last year -- can, head,
exhaust, webbers. Got about 500 miles on it before it spun a rod
bearing. If you are going to do a rebuild I recommend doing the whole
thin right from the start. That means check the crank, change main and
rod bearings [and get ARP bolts to put the main and rods back], bore and
repiston if necessary, Balance the whole thing [you can get a lot of
meat cut out of the flywheel], get an electric fan. With the bottom end
strong, go for getting the power out of the top end.
Enjoy.
Oh, and don't forget a total front and rear suspension rebuild for the
next couple thousand!
