Interesting to see the different perspectives. I'm not all that bothered, if it wasn't for companies like DK it would make it very difficult to keep these bikes alive.
We're only talking about a small amount of money here and as mentioned I thought the price for the crank and rods was quite reasonable. I don't think I'll take it any further, I have what I need and I can't be bothered with getting the extra rods and selling them.
In terms of progress, I've just masked up the head and brought it into the house to warm up in prep for painting and plan to do that and assemble it this weekend.

Question about curing paint.
Will the head be ok in the oven to cure the paint? I don't want the valve guides to fall out or the valve guide seals damaged.
Trigger:
Valve guides will not fall out but, no good with stem seals on or valves or springs in the head ;)

Thanks Graham. Valves are not in the head, just the guides. Just wanted to check and make sure.
