Yeah, my piston, rings, gudgen pin and circlips arived today! I gave the head a bit of a polish last night, and I lapped in the valves, so all I need to do is pull the crankcase apart and replace the conrod, which unfortunatly I can't do, as they are screwed together, and done up very tight from the factory, and I don't have an impact driver :( but I will do it tommorow at the bike shop, and I'll replace the screws with allen head bolts, and she'll be a pearler!

I'm gonna paint the tank and guards black at work, and she'll be a minta! the midnight special! Any tips for running in the new engine? Should I just use cheap shitty warehouse oil, and change it at 20k, 50k, 100k, 200k, 500k, then at 1000k put in the proper 10w40 oil?
