Found this 1985ish cast iron sleeved twin. As you can see its in need of gaskets . It runs really good.

The guy had 5 of them. This is the only one that didn't smoke and both cylinders were firing.

Block is honed and the intake valve port is ground & polished. I'm painting parts and putting it together now.
