    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I picked up an 1100 parts bike to use the front forks/brakes, rear shocks, and a few other pieces. The motor looks pretty complete, I was just going to take the shims so I have extras since I'm in the process of checking my valve adjustment. My question is, if I part out this motor, are there certain parts that I need to sell together? It seems semi-frozen, I took the plugs out and can spin it about an 1/8 of a revolution before it stops dead, but the cams look pretty good and I'm hoping there are more good parts in there as well.

since the engine is unknown to you and it already seems to have a problem of some sort, you could basically do want you want. Sell it whole or piece it out. If the engine was a good runner you'd be far better off to sell it whole. I know the cams should go with the head, other than that I don't think it matter too much. What are you doing with the rest of the bike?
 
Cam caps stay with the head, pistons and rings with their cylinders, but a lot of people would use new rings anyway. Not much else needs to stay together. Probebly make a lot more money for the individual parts if you have the patience to sell them all.

There's not much left of it, other than the motor, hacked up wiring harness, and untitled frame. Once I figure out what I'm doing with the motor the frame will probably just go to the scrap yard....unless someone would have a use for it.
