    Can't be 100% sure, but the engine bay and paint job look the same. Does it have the single exhaust pipe running down the left side? Had a unique sound.

    I deleted my post about getting my r50 ready for this weekend's BCD in Dayton, OH. Unfortunately, they will have to get by this year without "The Welsh Mini", as I am unable to attend.

    It's ok here but the new dog is driving my crazier than ever and he's too young to leave caged til I'd get home. There is no way I'd take him to piss and crap on everyone down there. So, I'll just have to wait to next year [if I live that long].

    Sounds like valve seals to me. I'd be curious if you have a worn valve guide on the cylinder too. Easy enough to check.

    What did you make the sun shields out of? I like that.

    I guess after asking us how to remove the door handle you didn't want our help on how to wrap the dash?
    Go figure! :D

    Sounds right to me, sorry. But perhaps it would be best to replace the whole head.....can you say RMW big valve head??

    Any time I have a head off I always have every thing redone. So if you think of it the BVH is a better value. It has been completely reworked. Thats the argument I would use.

    As a matter of fact I have used that argument and it worked. When I was around 19 I needed to rebuild my X1/9. My mom was helping buy me the parts I needed. I talked her into a little extra for big valves and had a machine shop do the work form, I still had to port and polish it myself but I got a BVH.
    Good luck.

    Sure it will, and buy her a new vacuum cleaner so she won't feel neglected. o_O

    Why, my wife loves the two Dysons I got her, when I ordered a BVH and a Grand AM Cam from RMW.

    Mine had gone out a while back. Went the cheaper route and put the lightened crank pulley on there.
