Been Around the Block
What's going on fellas?!
Been reading this site for the past few months, lurking, etc.. And felt a had to have a bike.
Never owed a bike of my own, my parents are mortified by them, so I've never had the chance to grow up on one..
Despite their feelings, i said f$%k it, and at the age of 22, I've got myself a bike.. in parts..
I've never worked on a bike, maybe a few Go-Karts and Go-Peds here an there, but after reading a few threads and
looking over some Shop Manual PDF's, I think I can tackle this project from bare bones..
I was pretty surprised to find out when I got the bike/parts lot, it was (tobiism)'s 360 project!
Further confirming the tiny size of this two wheeled community..

With that being said, I'm ready to put this engine back together, what's left to do is hone the cylinder,
,drop the Chain Tensioner Holder/damper/slipper in place, and bolt her up.
I've got new Head and Base Gaskets and 67mm Flex-Hone in today.
- Are there any things I should watch for as I rebuild the top end?
- Any tips when I hone? I've been following this video for technique.. Motorcycle and ATV Cylinder Hone Instructions - Flex-Hone
- When I've honed the cylinder, and am installing pistons, should I oil up the rings and cyclnder walls? What oil? (Spray Sillicone, or a light coat of 10-30 or 5/30 oil?)
I'm going to have a bunch of retarded questions.. :-[
I need to left side cracnkcase gasket, I've seen a few on ebay, but I can justify some of the prices..
- Could I just make a gasket for the cracnkcase? It doesn't get as hot as the jugs etc.. from what I can concur..
Thanks Dudes!
