Couple real quick questions.
1. The long bolts that hold the cylinders to the lower half, how important is it that they all have washers? Because I only have like 4 so I'm thinking that's why I leak oil, because they are just a tiny bit too long.
2. should I undo the entire thing so I can get...
That's a good idea! I'll see what I can find.
So how should I go about cleaning this? Should I soak it in something? I figure if I have it off might as well soak it. Or should I just clean it one piece at a time?
Why yes those are perfectly good boot with no cracks!
So I went and bought a complete head from a scrap yard a couple hours away for $100, guy said it looks good and all the valves Are in good shape. Also ordered a whole new rebuild kit because it was a couple bucks cheaper and will be here in a few days vs. a few weeks for a head gasket from...
I lied! Those were out of stock.
I am having a damn hard time finding any new valves. What if I either bought used valves and had them reground or bought a used head from a salvage yard?
I happen to know a machinist who could indicate the stems...as for cutting seats I am SOL.
True, I guess $60 plus shipping isn't the worst price for all new intake valves.
THIS WAS A PARTS BIKE!!! I guess I should have probably bought a running bike instead of buying a basket case and trying...
All new, as in exhaust too?
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO SAY THAT!!! I honestly don't know if there is a local machine shop that has the right bit to do the 3 bevel cut needed.
Alright so here it is...
That little pin broke, which in turn made the timing way off.
So when I went to time the motor I was very very off... and now I have bent intake valves. I did a leak down with brake clean on the exhaust valves and they didn't drip any liquid, one or two may have had...
I'm betting that's it. I will check as soon as I can. This has probably bent my valves I'm guessing it's way off, is there any easy way to test to see if they are bent while the valve cover is off?
So this maybe a dumb question, but is the piston actually supposed to be at TDC when the 1.4 t mark lines up with the tooth? Because mine doesn't. The picture below show the Piston at TDC.
