Mikey.....

....and remember if you need this tool photographed in the photo just let me know.....at the end of the day probably would cost you $24.00 total for shipping costs both ways....I don't think one can get anything shipped with UPS ground 3 day delievery for anything less than $12.00 one way.   I shipped out some cams today for someone the box only weighed 3lbs and cost was $11.44.

Regards,

Tim

Tim

Tim,
I am going to need that tool.  THANKS .... I want to minimize the amount of time that I have it .... so I'm not ready to ask you to send it YET
I got the jugs off today.  They look FANTASTIC inside.  The pistons have a LOT of carbon build up.  So I'm gonna take the jugs done and have them ball honed and clean up the pistons and get new hastings rings for the build.

I'll be in touch when I'm about a week out for the cam tools, THANKS !!!!!!!!

Mikey

Looks like ya got it goin good Mikey...I know ya prolly said before but how many miles did ya have on the engine when ya started doing this? I'm a "gomer" on this mechanics stuff; is that carbon build up excessive or about normal? From where I sit it don't look good  but what do I know? Anyway; keep up the fight; I can't help ya much but I'm damn sure pullin for ya ta get er done  Who knows; I might be where your at in a few years

27K

I'm a "gomer" on this mechanics stuff;

me too !  I'm a virgin, this is my first time !!!!!!!!!

is that carbon build up excessive or about normal?
 
I don't know, never seen the inside of one of them before.  Looks like it's a bit on the heavy side....... running to rich.
But she was still pulling strong, right up until I put her on the lift  .... 


From where I sit it don't look good  but what do I know?

me neighter ..... but I don't have to look at that part when she's running  LOL 

 Anyway; keep up the fight; I can't help ya much but I'm damn sure pullin for ya ta get er done  Who knows; I might be where your at in a few years 

I won't be surprised ........ the way you're getting after yours now !!!!!!!!

[elvislee]

Man when ya sit here and read all the stuff folks are doing to their rides; damn man, ya can't help but get the bug to do somethin to your own. It's friggin crazy man. I remember when I first got my bike all I was gonna do was get a set of forward controls, windshield and highway bar..YEA RIGHT I sit here and see what Joe did to his, Frank did to hie, Suzie did to hers, and BAMN!...All of a sudden your out buyin all kinds of chit ya didn't know what the hell it was before joining this site. Like the fork brace I bought recently; I no more knew what damn fork brace was then chit...Ohhhhhhhhh, but i had to have one  . Anyway, now that your on your roll; I'm sure I;ll be there too one day...Later man...Blaine   

[Hoist!]

HeHe!!! Youze guys are funny! It's just a top end fellas! Remember I told ya this chit ain't rocket science!!!

Hoist!

Mikey,

Those were great photos......!!!

Just remember UPS is 3 day ground and the first day doesn't count....lol....so really it's 4 days from the day it's handed to UPS...thus 4 day ground.....when you get it back to me isn't as critical as you getting it there.....

As far as:

".....how did you get the kotter key out of the back of the clevis pin ......"

Well that was done back in 2005 so my memory is a bit short.....photos are "fresh" though.....lol.....to answer your question.....perhaps sheer "strength" lol!!!!!   

You know there is something to be said if you're using an A/C that's allowing "blow by" to go back into your cylinders.....

That looks like you had about a "CC's" worth of carbon there.....

From those photos you could really see the lower rocker box gaskets had met their day.....the metal ones that are one piece will really be nice.......Now I will say one thing that may spark some disagreement.....but I did choose to use "HYLOMAR" HPF on the bottom rocker box gaskets....as a sealer....that is basically discussed in the other thread......if you desire to acquire this product allow yourself some time....you can get it on line....but you need the "advanced" formula that will not shrink since the "advanced" formula is not "solvant" based....I can provide a LINK to the website if interested....it comes out of Houston, TX so it takes a couple of days to get to you if so desired.....3 oz tube is $30.00 which will last you a life time.....but as I recall your not as old as rocks....so maybe it won't last your life time.....I know there is some debate about the logic of doing so.....but all I can say is that when you study the tech sheets about the product, it's made to be used in just that manner....and at the end of the day lol well at the end of nearly 1400 days still no leaks....lol.....remember what I shared with you about "Valve Seals" right now only $4.00.....while you are waiting and in no rush....later well....you get the drift.....

Howie....this isn't rocket science for sure....it's only life and death....LOL.....   and last I checked there were some that lost their lives on them there rockets...over some "o~rings"....But I know what you were saying and your intention.....

The true test of anyone's shade tree skills is who's first to volunteer for the maiden voyage....

Regards,

Tim
