1964? Honda C110

Couldn't resist.  Got a new bike today for a few bills.  
New Castle Indiana seemed like a sad place.  
Runs and rides but smokes and spits.  Took it around the block and then started dismantling it.
 Everything is covered in oil.
 Just before head removal.  Look at all those zip-ties.  I don't understand why the previous owner thought this was okay. . . .There is supposed to be an oil line connecting the rockers and the cylinder but this guy took it a step further and had it connected to the bottom end too (where the stock air box should be connected to no less....)
 Literally dripping with oil.....but the bike still started first kick. . . . 
 Top end removal....start!
 Rockers...can't tell if they need help.  
 Valves looked okay, they were both seated nicely.
 Taking this to Two Wheels tomorrow.  Have to go get a gasket for the CT90 anyway.
 Don't worry, your friends will be back soon.  Don't look so sad.
My goal is to get this engine running strong, swap it into the other C110 then get a piranha 150CC engine for this and turn it into a little race bike......trying to find a fork tube front end that I can swap into this also.......
