ashman said:The rods are pretty good, but replace the bolts and nuts that hold them together, if you pulling the botton end down replace all bearing, seals, clean the crank out, new timing chain, you don't want to go back down there for a long time, even if the old main bearing are still good still replace them, no need for Carllo rods if your not racing it you can spend the money on other improvements, maybe get the crank balanced to run smoother, what the heck, bigger cam, bit of port work, maybe new carbies, just make it breath a bit better and still keep it relieable.

I replaced my timing chain about 18 years ago. It has a lot of miles on it now, probably 80,000 or so. It seems okay. I would replace it but I've heard the new chains aren't as good as the old ones. Anyone know of a good quality replacement chain?
