Oliver Gettin' Clean

So a few days of hard work have completely cleaned the pistons in the bike, at the cost of my arms, fingers, a few brushes and more solvent than I care to have inhaled.  At this point I am pricing out the various gaskets and parts I will need once I get past cleaning the rest of the engine.  Alas, some of the parts are needed due to my own clumsiness.  But I prefer to consider it enthusiasm!

• New carbs (My fault, and I get to learn how to rebuild a carb!)
• New piston rings (Maybe my fault)
• New engine gaskets (Time is a killer of all things sequestering)
• New brake, throttle and clutch lines
• New bolts, screws and other miscellany (a mixed of old metal and... my fault)

So lots of items to get ordering and get cleaning and get putting back together.  I want to clean out the valves, which are full of carbon.  That is going to require special tools, so I can add those to the above list as well.  But Oliver is looking pretty solid on a fundamentals side, so we are that much closer to hitting the road!
