I did the same thing. figured out that I wanted to do it my way. now I have a good motor, but, I bought the wrong cam, wrong rods, (Had Jake rework them) wrong crank, (80mm, had to case clearance) etc..... I have a lot more in my motor than I would if I got a kit... You are welcome to come by and look at what I have, I need to put it up on the stand to change out the cylinder spacers, (too much, bought wrong) to correct this problem...Then I can install my new push rods, (better than what I used) and full flow oil system..etc...the list goes on and on.... I did learn a lot and did find out that Jake is not that expensive for parts and service....go with a proven winner, you still will have lots of learning and things to figure out. You just won't be stuck with a bunch of stuff that you don't want to put in your engine when you find out that it is not the best solution.... good luck! herb in maryland.... Attached image(s)
