Hopefully mine will get upgraded with a new owner. If not I might make it more street friendly. I'll have to see what way the chips fall..

Mines already in it's winter storage spot. Just have to jack it up, back off the rockers, and wait for winter to go by. Have not upgraded it since 2003, and have no plans to change anything now.
PS Ted, I'll be in CederFalls tomorrow...

A few people have told me to back off the rockers but I never did last year. I just turned the engine over every once and awhile to move the rollers. Do you think it is hard on the springs also? I was thinking the other day about backing them off. Is that just standard storage procedure?
We have always done it in the past. It's only 5 bolts per head. It's good to leave the valves seated for moisture also. Also keeps moisture out of the cylinder wall. When I pulled my heads, my buddy said don't be shocked if it has some rust on the cylinder wall after sitting 3 years. It had nothing.

to spend.Hope next year i can lighten it up a bit and re do the halo 
once the garage is completed......
