Put her up to 9,000 today after flushing all of the windshield fluid out of the radiator and giving her nice clean distilled and blue antifreeze. I mentioned at some time or another that I cant read japanese and it said -35 it was blue but I never checked the viscosity. Saw bubbles and stopped pouri...

Carl your the man. your cct guide saved my butt. I really needed to know how tight to run the cct. Mine is a little tighter but not much. Didnt do the rear yet but I have a spare engine coming. Rear is next but I think shell survive a ride to the hardware store to get another bolt. The bolt I got fo...

everything is normal.

Well first of all WHOO! WH WHOOOO! WHHOOOOO! I got it running and went for a test drive. It's grunty mean and torquey. I bet i am 180 out as it seems better than ever a bit too good. The worst thing I ever did to an engine was what I did today. I filled her with good clean water and then I added wha...

Shes up and running I just need to check the cam spec. Timing was out as half expected. I also followed carls tension guide to a T

Thanks Carl thanks everyone. I had a big issue because timing was out 1 turn. re timed without even taking the rear cover off and shes fine. Dont leave the rear cover on anyone who hasnt done a bunch of engines. I have and I still screwed up with the cover off. I only left it on because I had it off...

Thanks for all that. I know you have put several posts in about this sort of thing. Ive read many of them. I was thinking the same about the jacket being empty. It didnt run for more than a few seconds at the time. I just woke back up from last night so I am going to fix a few things, Either my timi...

got it running sort of... I think I just ID'''d the problem. I am guessing if rear was on tdc and I turned the crank a little more until it was on tdc. I have my cams set to the wrong stroke.... I think.... Tomorrow= Torque wrench and a re time also a bit longer of a bolt for my diy manual cct. It w...

Was all in spec. Guides were fine. I am worried that maybe we took too much off one of the vlaves and maybe the cup is clanging around because our mic lost its zero and we took a bit more off than we wanted but a 2.00 shim was too high and 1.95 was still in tolerance of .35 clearence. Valves that ca...

Under anything over low idle the valves are loud. It may be off timing. But I timed it so that one lobe was straight up on the rear while the other was pointed out on tdc. as per guide I believe. It also sounds a bit off while cranking like its got low compression. My manual cct is just a bolt throu...

Best typo ever. I admit I may have had a beer or seven and some sake....

My wife is the best. Just got an engine for 45 euro off of yahoo. She is also getting me a dymag rim. Dunno if well win but Ill let you guys know!! also got the valves in and shims are on the way.

I just read this with the voice of buggs bunny stuck in my head

If you dong do your CCT's one benefit is S valves! S valves of course are free but I decided to take my set out and replace them with standard. S valves are piss poor for compression.
