    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      Got the pistons back on the connecting rods and set the cylinders back on. Still waiting on the Three Bond 1207B I ordered so I can seal the cam blocks when I install them back on the head. Then its just a matter of torqueing the bolts, put the cam cover on, and slap the engine back in the frame.

        Plus waiting for the gaskets and the tap to be sent.. Hopefully my son Russ had a chance to pick them up. I'll be in Yale Sunday if he did.

          Yes i will need the intake manifold gaskets. I was referring to the MAJOR stuff as far as reassembly of the engine itself. Talked to Randy and he has some case sealer, so i will get that and have a new tube for future projects. Might have her buttoned up by next weekend. I will snap pics and probably be religated to Imageshack again because of Photobucket dropping the bucket...so to speak.

                Yes redman..I am the fatazz on the left. the other guy is my buddy "Jap Bike" Randy..also know as the Bike Whisperer.

                I rode the bike all summer and even down to The Harvest Classic last October. I knew she had a real little "tick" in her and once the rebuilding began we found the valve stem damaged and the adjuster hammered from the original owner not doing maintenance. It quieted down a lot after doing the adjustment, but i knew it wasnt quite right.

                I will take some pics of her when she is back together and do a before and after picture thread. It will be quite the contrast!

                Really sucks having that gouge in it from whenever it was dropped, but it is what it is..maybe I will find another better cover later, but then again maybe i should judt keep it with all the original parts...what do you guys think???

                  Held my opinion 'til I knew better…

                  Sure am glad to know that wasn't your wife standing next to you.

                      Went over and got some torque wrenches from my buddy Randy and some Three Bond 1207B sealer and finish up the engine today. There will be 2 picture posts because of the 10 pic limit. Hope it passes muster and I look forward to your comments. Around post 15 or so are pics of the engine just after we rescued it from the barn. There is quite the difference in how she looks now!!!


                      Got that cam chain tool Eric Bang found and it works like magic..there are pics of the new link being added too. Adjusted the valves and all I need to do now is put the bike back together. .Next and last thing to do is clean and polish the forks

                      I used welding wire to fish the cam ahin back up and then hung tools on the wores to hold them while i was prepping the cam blocks. I oiled everything up well before putting the cam cover on

                                Looking So good…

                                That's looking so good.
                                Are you gonna have to sell it already?
                                That's been the fate of so many of my favorite projects.
                                Even so, It's a pleasure to share.
