Oh yea, just Google -Don Galloway Cycle Works- and see what comes up. I bet the guy you have working on your engine now can't come close to the background that Don has.

If you think it may be useful I could draft an official letter from the ICOA adressed to the repair shop that the engine will be used for a technical education session and no further work will be required by the shop. Hate to see a fellow CBX rider having such a tough time with people who are clearly either in over their head or devious...

Glad to hear you got your mitts on the engine, Wyly.
It will probably take a while but once you are riding the big six your problems with that shop will fade away.
These brutes are that much fun.
