Get in gear, any gear will do - part one and a half...

In order to get some forward momentum and have a hope of catching up to the present day, we'll try shorter, less wordy posts :D

After getting the head onto to the workbench, I started to disassemble it. Am I the only person that hears "no disassemble number five!!" every time I type that word?

Anyway, I got out my trusty valve spring compressor and went to work.

I love this tool, if you are working on motorcycles, I highly recommend the OTC model 4572 spring compressor.

For less that $45, it's a screaming deal and the design works in very tight spots. Well worth the cash..

That's some carbon build up for just over 10,000 miles!
