Its's a CD 90 but similar. You can compare. There is a new carb for it, but the intake manifold is a bit off. I was thinking of drilling offset holes, it might be hard to match up. ?? not sure. the bike was running a few years ago, I heard about those lifan motors. M

Just heard from the machine shop that I took the head to. They checked it out, and said that it needs new valves, and guides. They are going to see if maybe they can make some valves from another engine fit, because I have no earthly idea where to find valves, and guides for this bike.

You could try Oceana Cycles in Virginia Beach. Not sure how much they support Japanies bikes, but they work on tons of vintge bikes.
It's only illegal if you get caught.
If at first you don't succeed, use more lighter fluid

The new valves have come in. They were custom made by Kibblewhite, For as much as these things cost, I think they should be gold filled.
 Now I need to decide if I want to just put it together, re-ring it (custom rings would need to be made), or have a custom piston made, for an over bore.

Only two valves?? Where are the other 14??  That's cool man. Custom parts always make you feel good inside. Does it need rings for sure, or can you squeak by with what you have now.
Oh, and I'm stuck here with 14'' of snow on the ground. I haven't even looked at your parts to be coated.

14" Is that all?  That's just a heavy frost.  About needing rings, I don't know. The cylinder bore is shiny smooth, and I do not have any gauges to measure the taper. However I would guess that now that I have nice new valves, and head gasket to seal things up that the rings will be the weak link.

Some, but in the wrong direction.  When the machinist filled out the spec sheet for the valves, he did not specify the correct type of groove for the keepers. So now they are sending the valves back to be reground. I am so glad it is on their dime. However I think I need to find another machine shop. Everything they have done for me has had problems. They did the valves, and cam bearings on my buddy Franks Dream that I am restoring, and when we got it back the cams were in backwards, and a fin was bent, and cracked. They did straighten, and weld the fin, and I don't think it will be noticeable, and they did put the cams in correctly, but the center section that holds the cam chain sprocket, and timing advance is in backwards. However I can change that. No problem with the parts. Still pretty cold here, so not planning to ride anytime soon. I'll PayPal you some expense $$$$$ next week. Thanks!

Actually this is unseasonably cold weather for Kansas City. It is not uncommon to be riding all year long here. Last year I remember going riding all night with friends in Feb. I guess global warming is causing a new ice age. TOOLS
