If you've ever done any engine work at all then this thing
will be simple. The only engine I've ever done work on that
was easier was my old AH Sprite - and that because the head
wasn't much bigger than a lawnmower's....8*)
Seriously, A Saturday could easily see the head off,
decoked, valves ground in and new seals in place. Then a
few hours to bolt it all back on. My personal record for a
head swap is 4 hours, in a field in Ottawa in 90F
temps...8*)

Good. The hill trick works decently. Timing and valve
adjustment (you have adjusted the valves, right?) make a
BIG difference in the power on a 2.25.
