Two years ago I had my existing engine rebuilt by a local guy who talked me into alignboring my existing case and regrind (3 angle) a set of used heads. Never again! After only 15,000 miles the engine has low oil preasure, over heats, blows white smoke when started (leaking valve guides, I think) and low compression (100psi). I'm going to yank this engine and keep it for smog checks while I put in a GOOD engine...one with a NEW case (read Gene Bergs catalog) NEW heads, full flow oil filter and dual carbs. Martin
