Let us know how it goes. The one thing that my friend who is helping me mentioned was the break in was a crucial step and with my carb being parked for years put extra concern on whether the engine could stay running at first crank so things dont go wrong with the flat tappet cam and all. My luck lately hasnt been so hot, so Im not ruling out the L31 just yet.

I did get a bit spooked with some of the reviews I saw at Summit on that L31. Timing chains mistoothed, and the warranty I will need to watch for. I think the buy date and the install/crank/run date need to be close together.
