Changed thermostat in 1993 Mercury Sable. Temp gauge would shoot up way too quickly, and went into the danger zone twice for a few seconds, before falling just as rapidly. I hypothesized that the old thermostate was sticking. So far, the problem hasn't reoccurred with the replacement. I've changed thermostats in almost every car I've owned, and this is the first time that it seems to have made a difference.
In the process, I bought an additional ratchet set a bit better adapted to the limited access. Gear Wrench Vortex system.

Finished stripping this...
Pulled the engine and put it on my Suzuki stand...
Aftermath...
Pulled in the Cooley for surgery...
Didn't get much done today.
Oh, got hired for a new job before I got home from the interview at 7 A.M.
(The phone was ringing when I walked into the house.)
And, got another job offer this evening after I pulled the Cooley in.

Ripped out all my relay wiring today. Implementing a completely new design which uses 2 relays and 2 terminal strips. It will turn the headlight off durng cranking, power my fuse box, Fiamm horns, grip heaters and coils. And have several openings for additional items (GPS, iPod, etc.).

Finally, got the battery out of the Honda CBF1000 for storage. Fingers crossed it did not freeze.

Daughter's boyfriend has got a Yamaha Aerox. He's been riding safely for 3 months now so I agreed I'd de-restrict it for him. He's chuffed. It's actually much safer as he can keep up with normal road traffic now.
The only problem I'll have now is all his mates will be round for the same job. When I did my lad's a few years ago all his mates ended up round my garage promising to buy me a beer (some did, some didn't....).

Stripped the thread on one of the left engine mount bolts on the 450 :evil:
Then started on valve clearance checks:
No clearance on right side with 0.04mm feeler guage, need to do left side and see what the go is.
Not a successful night...
Not alot...tried to ride the horses today but the step-daughter's hackamore broke at the weld (strange). But I managed to finish cleaning the old gasket off the cylinder head and drilled mounting holes in the air box.

Hey Gabriel, I've had it apart for years and just recently had the valves faced, so I expect there probably was some clearance when it was running, but unfortunately when I pulled it all apart I didn't know I needed to even check them... have a look in my rebuild thread in my sig. and you'll see just how long ago that was...
Tonight's fun was starting to dismantle the carbs and endeavour to work out what shims I needed... I think I have an idea now.
Also discovered my micrometer is imperial, but has metric instructions, which explains so much weirdness with it...

I installed new rear wheel bearings and cleaned up the wheel on my 1000G. I removed the exhaust system and started cleaning it up. I think I am going to paint the Y pipes as they are getting some surface rust on them.
