Next up is porting the head. I have a ticking sound coming from the left cylinder, and I found a used head and timing chain guides cheap, and I'll get a new timing chain tensioner to put on at the same time. Looking at the head, there's some pretty obvious things to clean up like casting lines and sharp edges without making any major changes, I'm just not sure how far to go, like deshrouding valves, where it will flow better but not drop compression too far and shift the power band too much. It'll probably benefit from a bit more compression and timing advance though, so I'm already planning to just omit the base gasket under the jugs and do the timing pickup mod. I believe it's the intake cam that was suggested to advance 1 tooth to improve top end.
