Ok, so hopefully this is picking up steam again! I met with my mechanic today and reviewed my torn-down engine. It's in need of a new cam and lifters. I've posted a WANTED ad in the Classifieds referencing that and will be calling a few of our vendors tomorrow to see if anyone has any leads.

Is there a such thing as New-Old-Stock for 2F cams and lifters?

I’d poke around on Partsouq, I know there are several sources in Japan folks use as well. I assume you tried Mark’s (@65swb45 )?

-Balancing the crank assembly with the flywheel/clutch/ balancer and set up in crank grinder to chamfer and polish.

-One skim on the deck you can see how warped it was.
