Well I know it's not going to be to everyone's taste. There are a lot of purists on here that will be cringing I'm sure.

Not purist by anymeans just see lots of questions on combined reg/rec not working and m units not behaving. Oh and lithium batteries dying

So its been a while since I posted. Not been able to get to the garage as its not at my house.
Took the opportunity today to start stripping the engine. It doesn't look good. I've not rebuilt a 4 stroke engine before but I can see that there is some serious ware here. Can someone advise how bad it is and what can be saved if anything..
All of the valves have the same indents on them.
