Got the motor back on Tuesday and finally got it in. I still have a few things more to do like hook up fuel lines, clean the air filter, hook up the throttle bodies and some misc connectors, but it's almost there!
I ended up needing a bunch more parts than I excpected: main input shaft, 3 gears, 3 shifts forks, timing chain tensioner, and new front sprocket too. I ended up spending a little more than expected, but everything should be in top notch shape now- that's all that matters to me. I also had Scott pull the cams out and adj the valves and throw in some new plugs while he had it. They were getting a lil tight. She should be ready to go by next weekend.
going back in.....
