Old used 2-piece factory valves can fail and unless you’re willing to take the chance or are really bucks down they belong in the scrap heap along with the heads.

Good point on the valves. I was thinking that valves might be hard to find at some point, and they might be worth saving.

Do a single ad on the 1970 #15 heads.
Hype the 87cc chamber in the headline.
Eventually they will sell locally , I suppose.

I don't think I saved any intakes with restricted secondaries, unless they are with a complete engine. I think I have a 1975 WT and a 1976 WX. I had a PWH motor but I sold it complete many years ago.

I did something stupid and hurt my leg about six weeks ago. I've been somewhat out of commission since then, but getting better.
