more on the 70 164 EFI conversion 140-160

pulled both heads off today.

the 6 bolt shows some sings of hone marks, but... one cylinder's ridge begins where i assume the 2nd ring should be.... possible missing top ring... there appears to be no damage associated with a broken ring, though.

also, running my finger up the length of some of the bores, i can feel variances in width, but there are no score marks to indicate overheating.

the 8 bolt motor is nice and even, but is obviously of higher mileage. the head is approximately 1.25mm thinner than the carbie head - is this more than it should be?

as right now i don't want major expense, i think it best that i just wait for a good used 6 bolt motor that i can bolt straight in... about to get on the phone to get some parts prices, though.
