Same here I reckon. Got quoted silly cash for valve adjustments on a triple. All day job he said and all fluids gotta be dumped.
Yeah managed to remove the carbs/bodies (obviously installed by Thor) and float/vaccum chambers are full of shit too.
I've got another complete engine that was better taken care of, so will check this weekend, otherwise, I'll hawk it all on eBay.It's a right shame, the bike has stupidly low miles on it and barely any external corrosion.

Dunno about over there but head work has got brutally expensive here since all the old boys that used to do it for a pack of fags and a sixer have wheelied off to the big workshop in the sky....450 bucks for a 3 angle valve job on a 4 valve single.
If you have rust in the intake like that, you’ll probably need the works, guides / seals / valves....almost certainly not worth it. Any other heads in the pile?
