Hey! This is so good to hear! It is a slow process what with the slow mail system atm and juggling work and play.. but progress is being made! I will continue to film and post as i go! Thanks for the encouragement!

Solid advice, very much appreciated!

Found an answer..

Heyo, Im in the middle of a teardown, is there a reason that we shouldnt use snaprings instead of circlips to secure the wrist pins when setting up the pistons? As pictured below.. Thanks in advance!

After a little more research i have discovered the pertinent info for my engine! 4T4-001771 = XS400 SH 1981 Starting the cleanup/teardown later this week..

Good day folks! I am very excited to have picked up an almost complete basketcase xs400.. 2 fames (1 with papers), tripple trees, forks, risers, bars, tank, wheels, sprocket, carbs, headers and the engine which needs a top end rebuild, right side piston is pock marked from a blown valve...
