The cylinders on a 1971 FX
were originally painted silver. At some point in time, these
were painted black. I have removed them for refinishing as
well as the tappet blocks. You will notice the cam cover has
been removed as well. This bike sat for a very long time.
I thought it would be best to remove the cam cover to replace the
seals and check for hidden wear/damage.
Below,
the cylinders have been cleaned and repainted, the pistons have
been re-ringed, the valves & their seats have been refreshed,
and the rockers boxes have been cleaned.
Now its ready to be
reassembled and installed in our chassis.
