Done!! :)
If anything, I was compressing spring to much. But doesn't matter now,as they are in and seated with the help of a rubber mallet. :) :)

Before putting the head back on check that all the valves are seated. By testing them with fuel down the ports. Do not know if you have re-cut the seats and lapped the valves in???

More progress, got the valves installed with my new spring compressor (ebay £20) fitted the head with genuine Honda gasket. Just the rocker top to install then engine is complete ready for carbs and exhaust. Cant wait for the first start up!

It lives!!!! yes got it going today, sounds good but valves will need doing again and carb sync, bottom end sounds quiet with hardly any clutch rattle or chain noise. Good day!
