David - been wanting to speak to you about many things,
but life keeps me busy. Send me an email to
ec20120@gmail.com. We can share contact info and talk
about getting your oil pump rebuilt so your crankcase does
not flood with oil anymore after sitting for a few weeks.
I highly recommend that. Also, I have been looking for a
frame for a WLA project and finally found someone who has
a few correct WL / WLA frames to choose from. I will put
you in touch with both people. Regards, Eric

After much investigation, discovery and consideration,
I've decided to find a new frame for my WL. The one I
have is an after-market frame, missing certain brackets
and with some questionable specs. Most likely I will not
have it on the road until the Fall.

Does anyone have contact info for Eric Chiapponi (or Eric
please respond)? Eric mentioned he had a contact who
rebuilt/improved WL oil pumps and I'd like to get this
person's contact info.

Thanks

David

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!!

I was successful getting the heads off with some effort,
and without breaking off any bolts!! It will be
interesting to see how to get them back on as the motor
mount is so tight. Maybe some filing/grinding of the top
mount spacers and/or frame to give me some more room.
I've attached a couple of photos of the tops of the
cylinders for some opinions regarding condition. I will
at least clean up the cylinders and lap the valves.

Thanks

David
