    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Hi all,

Well, after my recent track day, I have been informed my 83 1100 es with about 50,000 miles or so smokes a little on decel. Not 100%sold on the idea of getting into it this winter, BUT if I do, what else should I do (besides the valve stem seals) while I'm in there? Thanks in advance!

Gaskets down to base for sure. OEM gaskets. Lap the valves assuming the guides check in spec. Rings and bottle brush hone if you want to assure the engine is as good as it can be.
 
I am considering also installing the 1150 cam set i have stored. A bit intimidated by the idea of degreeing the cams.....I might be looking for a hands-on guru in the area to lend a hand with things. I also need to get my "wife's" 305 dream reassembled. Too many projects, too many kids and jobs and etc etc...
