Nice work RG!
I'm about to tackle my first major engine work as I think you know. Timing chains and tensioners on the VTZ of doom. Also found from helpful people at econohonda that VT MC15 motors are prone to blocking the top drive train oil journal so thats why they eat timing chains?????

Any advise for a first timer?

Looks good. Good on you for doing all that work yourself and learning as you went.

Finished spraying the red and putting the pin strip on,

Came out really well

Still having trouble finding a blade for one, and teh guy at Buckets n Bits isnt exactly being very helpful.

Tell me What you think
