Just rebuilt my top end this past weekend.  Feels nice tightening those cover bolts and knowing it's all fresh inside.  Now its wheels and frame for me.

Cleaned and painted the barrels, head cam cover and breather cover.  Polished all the side covers.  New rings, valve seats cut, valves lapped in, ports gas flowed, skimmed the head, new gaskets and reassembled with stainless hardware.

On Trig's advice, I used Simoniz SIMVHT31C and then baked the parts for 90 mins after they were dry.  Seemed to go really well, and does t come off so far with oil or a bit of carb cleaner.
