    Start by clicking the second link in my signature. Read everything. Make sure that you have a safe and good running motorcycle before beginning to modify it.

    Looks like you got some shopping to do! Check the catalogue at XJ4ever (Link at top right corner of every page here). They have all the stuff, and more. Len, user name Chacal, has a wealth of knowledge.

    Can not reiterate these guys saying....GET IT RUNNING...Then modify it. It will give you less headaches down the road. Plus it will give you a base when you start to modify it and some goes wrong you know you can go back to it.

    image.jpg Clean valve seat and face and it holds fluid in port shown in pic tells me valve is not bent
    Shim cups dropped out so valve clearances all wrong
    And no broken studs on exhaust side
