Indian repops are pretty decent, except for the valveguides and manifoldnipples..; make sure they're fitted right and tight..

These were fitted on an engine...valves are in... valvestem- tappet alignment spot on. Didn't have a manifold to check that alignment, can easily do a leaktest...somewhere next week...I'm not gonna use m anyway.
