Great idea with Tape
hope your planning on removing tape soon- even painters tape gets more stuck with time
good luck

I like the tape on the fenders, I will be doing this to mine at some point, looking forward to cam specs and what it puts down.

Not realy a problem, just takes alow of twisting and head scratching lol, and yes the trunions were super easy to do. Today im going to clean the decks and get all of the crud out of the head bolt holes, then just clean up the engine bay a little. Still no word on when the heads and cam will b shipping out.
