Thanks Sci

Here's the motor after I pulled all of the masking off. I'm quite pleased.

i cannot wait to see how awesome this bike is gonna look, great job!
 
Had plans to work on the bike today but had to convert the garage back into a parking spot for the van. We are under high risk for tornado outbreak today. They are saying we will have hail today as well. Hoping that doesn't happen. Things are looking pretty sporty for this afternoon.

Watching the Weather Channel it looks like the apocalypse is happening in our area this afternoon. They have us at a 9 out of 10 on the Torcon scale.

Fingers crossed your garage can convert back due to a false alarm... we get hurricanes as opposed to tornadoes (although not typically where I am) and I know they can do some serious damage...
 
We missed it, but barely. Tornadoes all around us. Watched some pretty crazy clouds come through our area today. It's never good when Jim Cantore from the Weather Channel and Reed Timmer from Storm Chasers is in your neck of the woods. :eek:

Pete I know hurricanes all to well. I grew up in Northwest Florida and have been through my fair share.

I hate tornadoes.

Tomorrow I will reclaim the garage as Suzuki land. ;)

I did manage to soak some bolts in Simple Green today. Does that count?

Mate any work even remotely related counts :D

And I should've said cyclones not hurricanes... no idea where I got that from... :rolleyes: very glad it missed you though!
 
Spent yesterday polishing the remaining cases and sorting the Z1 stainless bolt kit. Polishing took most of the day but I am happy with the results.

Today I got the head cover installed with the new Real Gasket. Still exchanging the breather gasket for the right one with Real Gasket. Used thread sealer on all of those bolts and torqued them down 1/2 turn past finger tight. Almost started a riot in the 4 Cylinder Engine Forum in the process. Hah!

That's one of the reasons I love this site.

All new OEM gaskets on the cases. Oil pan, clutch cover, points cover, stator cover, and starter cover. New filter on the cam chain tensioner as well. New o-ring for the filler cap and the oil filter cover.

The only hiccup I had was after installing the stator cover looking down and seeing the starter and starter gear. :eek::evil::pray::rolleyes: Off it came and back on again.

I used ample anti-seize on all stainless bolts minus the head cover bolts. Put the new oil filter in and snapped a few pictures to prove all that I have said.

Forgot....I also installed a new Rick's Motorsports stator with new stator screws in the case.

Just keeping a record of everything for posterity's sake. :D

And can you take a pict of your tools that you used to polish the case...wow looks sooooo Amazing!!! did you ever fix the tach leak you were talking about....I have the same gucky grease problem in the front of my GS1000L.
