Well I got a few parts in, made a little progress, and ran in to some bumps....
I prepped the head, cylinders, and rocker box for paint:
Pretty paint
Just resting on each other, I still need to grind away the fins and polish them, but I want to let the paint cure for a week first:
I went to re-assemble the engine tonight and found out that the bolt kit that I ordered from Alloy Boltz was packaged wrong, or had some bags of bolts missing...the first tell tale sign was the 4 sets of exhaust nuts. Also, none of the bolts were remotely close in length for the case
I hope you like the table cloth ;D
Should I be worried about the change in color on the shift forks? It looks like they may have gotten a little hot...
I know, another 360 with a Benelli tank...so typical...o well, I really like the look of this tank. I plan to chop up the bottom and get some more volume out of it
GIANT TUNNEL AND UNUSED SPACE!
Forgot about the clutch return spring that I had put in vinegar a few weeks ago...
Luckily I had a spare, I was suprised to actually find metal in that bath of orange corrosion!
Check out how much material was removed, the spring is now far too weak to use.
Does anyone know what this mystery part is!? I found it in the parts washing bin when I was emptying it out...I have searched the manual and assembly documents to try and find it in a picture, but I can't, any help would be greatly appreciated:
Thanks for reading!
