Below are some of the things I have been working on for the past month:
I would like to say this: I don't think I coulda done it without you guys. Yea, I've rebuilt engines before, but this is a different beast. You've got to consider this, don't buy aftermarket gaskets, you need this oil, don't forget to do this other thing, etc. So, thank you. And hopefully I will have at least a full year (which would be my first) of being able to ride my motorcycle without major work to be done on it. Bam!
- Tore all the way down to replace base gasket.
- Replaced all gaskets I had access too (all but the oil seal on the oil pump and some random o-rings and washers that came with my gasket kit)
- Cleaned all the parts thoroughly. Some went through the dishwasher.
- Removed the oil pan and cleaned it out.
- New rings.
- Replaced stator with new unit.
- Replace regulator/rectifier. Connection between the two were shorted/corroded together.
- Polished all previously polished aluminum surfaces.
- Installed a SS bolt kit.
- General cleaning/tidying of wires and such.
- Of course, new oil everywhere.
