Yeah, I got the replacement valves and piston and smoothing out the cylinder head.
Note to all GZ250 riders, don't let your Air cooled engine idle until the pipes are bright red.
Lesson learned

-Perfect chrome means you don't ride enough.
-Blue is slightly lean.
-Red corresponds to the burning of money from your wallet.

Rainbow equals just right:
