Rebuild is started. Phase 1 : A) get the crank rebuilt with new rods, all new brgs, labyrinth seal, trued up then welded B) get the barrels bored out to 2nd oversize, C) cut windows in the back of the pistons to suit the boost port. I would then collect these parts, rebuild the bottom end , put it ...

I replaced the oil with Castrol 10w40 today. Still smoking when starting the bike and reving it. Hoping it’s not valve seals. Need to drive it tomorrow morning to get to work, hoping for the best. What colour is the smoke? Chris. Hi Chris, the color is a white grey almost. If the valve guide seals ...

Chris.

You're doing a good job

Nothing to eat in the garage, unless you like chewing on iron.

It's kept outside. I have mice in my garage, trying to keep them out is pointless as it's well ventilated; but they don't bother me so I don't bother them and have never tried getting rid of them.
