Looks like I'm going the whole hog with the engine strip on the Z. Have spent a happy few hours removing the cylinder head, cleaning up combustion chambers etc. next is removing valves and relapping with new valve stem oil seals and hoping the compression is back up on number 2 cylinder. It's turning into a can of worms and I bloody love it. The wiring loom is truly frightening, in a few years I'll post a picture when it's finished.
Have had much more success building up an Equilibrium. Forty thousand less moving parts of course.
