I have stripped head.
Good bits.
Rocker pins in good condition, valve stems and guides good, valve seats reasonable, springs minimal wear, exhaust and spark plug threads good.
Bad bits.
Upper bevel bearing housing loose in head. Strange but looks like housing worn more than head. Will replace housing, is it recommended to loctite in when assembling?
Rockers worn and will have to be replaced. Wondering if 1960s Mototrans same as Italian and same as 160 engine. Hoping Jon will be along sometime to confirm. If same would give me better chance of finding some or maybe Nigel will have some good used ones.
Cam showing some wear, think it will be OK to use, photos added, advice welcome, cams have slight wavy lines on peaks should I leave or dress with fine stone?
Enjoying my first Ducati restoration, well designed. Beginning to find out why Ducati's are expensive
