I saw it sitting roadside for sale , keeping a eye on her. Finally stopped an made a offer less then junk price. Put all new coils in her , a battery , alternator, put air in one tire. And drove her away later discovered the tans had a leak ,replaced lines . Now the timing chain on left bank exhaust side broke , replaced the three chains to find I have two bent exhaust valves ,took the head off ,but need a compressor to change them out... and need to set the timing any recommendations? Or procedures ....she is a beautiful ride
