I took my pistons, rings, barrels and heads to a local "ish" Ducati Ninja to cast his eye over and shim my valves that I had previously lapped in.
He said that everything was good now the shims hasd been done as there was no gap on the inlet valves and the rest of the engine was in fine shape.
He patiently listened to my perceived lack of acceleration problem, looked me up and down and said "lose some weight fat lad", the other option is to throw more money at it and adjust the compression and valve timing.
I think the money will be better spent on guiness, pies and rolling in last as someone needs to take one for the team.
Just got to put it back together now.
