after having been talked down from disassembling my working engine, a friend talked me into finding a dead engine to go nuts on. This is my first attempt at ever rebuilding anything bigger than my son's Star Wars Legos.
Within 1 hour of posting a wanted here in the forum, I got a note from someone not too far from here with what I was looking for. 100psi compression and dirtier than you can imagine. Very nice guy with amazing land and a hoist in his garage. Now that's an awesome tool!
So, anyway, here's the goal, and then I'll swap it out with the engine in my bike (the one that runs):
Clean, clean, clean, get it blasted then maybe paint?
polish up covers
new gaskets, rings and anything wornout looking.
Rephase (planning on sending crank and cam shafts to Hugh)
so this includes the 277 PAMCO system
clutch screws replaced with Mike's hex bolts
considering PMalternator (probably only if I can get someone to buy the old one)
5th gear upgrade
Am I missing something?
Anyway, presenting... the engine!
