juldan1 Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Im gonna pull it apart. Heads anyways and see if theres any signs of sand in there. Wanting to know what would be the best way to clean the case. Flushing it with something, solvent, air, etc. Also this will be my first venture working on a bike. Have some mechanical knowledge. Can anyone steer me to a site that has the procedure of taking off the head and etc. My buddy says its cake but I like to have my ducks in order so to speak. Quote
boonman Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 Buy a Clymer or equivalent service manual. Anything except haynes. They suck. Anyways, split the cases. I tried to clean the case and crank out when I burned a hole in the piston, and it didn't work, and shortly thereafter, I had catastrophic crank failure. It sucked..... Quote
akpopeye Posted December 4, 2003 Report Posted December 4, 2003 thebansheezone.com has some pics of i top end procedure i beleive.... as far as cleaning it i would say dissasembel the lower end...slap some new seals on it..examinen the crank and rebuild the motor...clymers and the forum would walk you thru it...im attempting it too right now....easy to dissasemble....but then you gotta figure out where everything goes back to from the pile of metal thatll be on your work bench...lol then u can have peice of mind that everything is in order and clean...no dirt..everything inspected... i dont know if flushing it with a solution or air will dlift up any dirt, sand, metal froom inside a crank case that is assembled????
