    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.

Doc Brown in Portland, OR only uses Castrol Actevo. And he is quite possibly the baddest assed mechanic I have ever met.

I'm probably going to do an emergency overhaul on my own engine, by the way. It's for 60,000 on it, and is gushing oil from somewhere near the bottom. Does anybody have a tutorial for that?

Burp,

Just go to BassCliff's site and download a manual - it's pretty easy to pull the top end
Expect to replace gaskets and cam chain guides front and rear, If you've got good compression, you don't need more than a hone and fresh rings on the mechanical side. You're probably suffering from 30 year old O ring syndrome. They do break down, after all

You know Dr. Brown? I need to go by and Harass that old goat. I wonder if he still has that RGV 500 Suzuki GP bike he tried to run at Languna back in the 90s?

I'm not a cam expert, but I think Andrews or Webcam has a torque based cam for the 8V engine
 
If you are using stock type cams there is no need to use HD valve springs. Better off with stock springs.
