What is your procedure for removing the carbon? I would like to learn. It really cleaned up nice.
Went to 2 machine shops.
Both said the same thing.
Bore is 75.002
But the cylinder stencil states .007
5 microns?
That's about right if your shops were 10°F colder than the Yamaha factory...
Hi Pete,Yuk - what a mess littlebill!.
I hope you won't mind a small detour, but since we're on the subject of gaskets and engine clean-up, I do have a related question:
I tried to change the exhaust port gaskets on Lucille last summer but they were both stuck pretty hard so I just left them. Nonetheless, I do want new gaskets in there when I install the new pipes.
Anybody got a good suggestion for getting those stuck gaskets out?
Pete
He said the pistons were shrunk and, "Damn, didn't you hear all the knocking?" , lol.
I'll probably go for 2 over to be safe.
