Hix, are you still on auto???

 

Yes I am

 

got my stuff back from the machine shop today...though i need to check some things out before i install all the goodies.

 

install has begun









































as soon as it warms up....crap its cold...lol

 

Lol enjoy that 30 degree weather

 

shut up...prolly start getting on the engine monday...supposed to warm up then.

 

well i got froggy and braved the cold, installed the crank, pistons and con rods...didnt do anything else though. really wanted to get the upper oil pan on and the head tq down but i couldnt stand it anymore. My feet are still warming up...lol...have pics ina few

 

didnt feel like taking pics of the pistons installed in the block...lazy strikes again..lol

just for reference the reason i go with such a large ring gap...(im sure my post before about what i set the end gaps at caused some dialogue). Other pistons will vary.



here is just a general diagram of where the end gaps for each rings should be located on the piston.

 

What did you gap em at?

 

same spec as i set yours at

 

black jack on the top comp ring
25 on the second
oil rings were good

 

I PM'd you since you don't know how to text on your pink phone.

230-3ish tomorrow

 

lol

 

well the engine is almost all togather...Iv had to rush things a bit...upcomeing projects along with my HOA being d-bags iv had to skip things i really wanted to do. Ill have some pics in tha morn.

 

as promised...though a little late...oh well...enjoy








I wanted to paint the whole engine and not just the block and timeing cover but of course poop happens when your rushed. I didnt even get a chance to degrease the upper oil pan or the head. I did however clean the combustion chamber. May try to install this week...not sure.

 

Shoulda brought it to my shop instead of dealing with them... Looks good either way, kinda reminds me of an old chevy with the parts being different colors. A redneck 4-banger.

So hey if I can get my oil changed, track down the leak, and fix my suspension would it be ok if I dropped by tomorrow for a quick tune after I drop the bike off?

 

hell no....







just kidding...of course bro...bring her on by

 

btw kyle your right..it does look like ace...I wanted to do much better than this, hell i can do much better than this. It is what it is.

 

It doesn't look like le poop. Nobody will ever be able to deny that the engine was pulled and rebuilt though... Don't see many black engine tCs. Plus the VC is ****

Spray paint the exterior of the car camo

 

you would go there wouldnt you...lmao
