• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Bearing Pieces in oil

    I am pretty sure I am . The engine however seems to be able to rotate both direction pretty free with just the rear cylinder on. Even with the front cylinder on without the timing gear install. It also rotates free. I am highly suspecting that the timing gear is off for the front cylinder. ...

    I am going to check my timing again and the spark plugs is already out. I can see the valve half way open and then stop. I am thinking the piston might be at the wrong spot. Thanks

    Thank you for the suggestions. I will check the valves when I get a chance but right now that's the last thing on my plate. I installed the new piston rings and reassemble the front cylinder. I can crank the engine by hand without problem before I installed the front timing chain and gears. The...

    Hmmm.. I dont think I will be adjusting anything. The engine ran perfect before I took it apart. I would just like to put her back together the way it was with my new bearing installed. The less I mess around the less things can go wrong. I am really not that goo at this.

    No.. this is the first time I ever putting a piston in a cylinder and learned my lesson. :opps: I used a big ratchet clamp off a rubber drain pipe connector on my second try to hold the rings in and it slide in most of the way.

    Okay half my engine is now back together. Just need my friend to show up and help with torquing everything down before I proceed with the front cylinder.

    Okay, I have the gear box back in and the crank and the balance shaft back in. The gasket cut and in place and guess what?? My torque wrench was a little too hefty. I wasn't lying when I said I am not much of a mechanics. My torque wrench is from 30 to 250 foot pound. I needed one for 97 in...

    Thanks. STP oil treatment perfect to know. I have some of that laying around. I now know what 648 is for after your explanation, the flywheel are press fit to the crankshaft and is hold in by a washer and a bolt at the end of the crank on the magneto side. The 648 must be used to help bond it to...

    6 weeks and still in the shop ... could use some advice

    If the brake lights staying on usually meant a wire is touching or crossed somewhere. I would ask them to look there.. I had rewired my 2009 SE5 when I built a luggage rack and put on an extra LED brake light on the back. It was quite trying as I remember. Their electronic for the signals and...

    In these case they are using it in the Magneto/flywheel area. Its being apply on Flywheel threads and the Socket Head Screw M16x30 and bolted onto the crankshaft. I think I will be pretty safe using red because it is thread on the shaft. However I think I seen Loctite 620 which is similar to...
