Welder's penetrate deeper!!
Since ive been running my 71 for a little bit, I decided to pull the side filter. Aluminum fillings. not a lot, but too much. When I worked on this bike 4 years ago, I cleaned it then, then the previous owner just shoved it back in the shed, so it only has a few miles since then. Now its my problem....
So I just spent a couple hundy's for a new cam chain, new chain blade, head gasket, and some other odds and ends.
when the parts get here, and the motor is out, I will take lots of pics, and do a though check on this motor. peeking in the cylinder, I think I read .25 on the top of the piston. previous owner said he had rebuilt the top end, then shoved it in a shed since 1992. so all might be good.
xsjohn once suggested to putting a tablespoon of baking soda in the cylinders, one at a time, to help deglaze the cylinders, and free up the rings, and reseat the rings after a engine sits for a long time, ever heard of that?
Might as well get the crank pins welded. I can tig weld, but its been 7 years since I last did it. heat control may be an issue.
