what did you wrench on today??

Out with the cylinder hone, cut about a 40°cross hatch.

I had an '82 GPz 1100 that smoked, had the cylinders honed at a shop, put in new rings, and it smoked worse. Maybe they didn't check if the cylinders were out of round. I had it bored out and put in Wiseco 75mm pistons to make it 1166cc. Perfect. The EFI adapted to it without a hitch. Happy ending, but what a pain. Hope all's good with yours.

Tell us more (pics)?

I shouldn't be surprised, knowing you. It’s just that certain models catch my attention.

In 1982, I would have liked to have a GPz1100, but being that I had just taken delivery of my brand new Indy Pace Car Z28, I made due with my '73 Z1.

Hi Darryl, love ya work mate, detailed and spot on as usual. Parts on scales, that is Kat-nip to me, well done on the refresh and giving the 'G' a boost. Ya know that wasn't easy to say for me.

Cheers.

You never did find your G-Spot, eh Glen/Ken?

Thanks Tom. I'll post the results after she's run in. Fitted new rings and a hone + valve seals on the 750 two years ago and no smoke, no top up between oil changes. Used a special running in to assist with ring seating and was careful varying the revs and loading and unloading rings for the first 600 mi or so. Will repeat this process.

I used Lucas break in oil (oh no, oil thread incoming?) on my Norton N15CS, and basically did what you are saying. You know what's up, it'll be fine I bet.
