Amstaff Posted February 22, 2004 Author Report Posted February 22, 2004 update switched the spark plug wires around and got the same thing checked the slides there fine no sticking disconected the tors still not fixed left side seams not to fire now exept when its pushin a cloud of smoke and oil out did a compression check this was bad left side was a wooping 8 and the right side was140 so im thinkin maybe rings or blown piston? also need to know since i bought my bike used is there any way to tell if its been bored or what not with out tearing into it? tell me what you guys think the prob could be im thinkin more than likely ill be needing some one to walk me threw a rebuild i got access to anytools i would need i just dont have the engine experiance Quote
reas11 Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 8 damn son , something is toasted on the left side for sure .. u might just need a topend , get the cylinder honed or bored depending on the damage the top end kit maybe will cost around 120 , not including the hone and or bore ..the tools u need are not that bad , first off get a clymers manual there is a walkthrough on the whole process. meats site i think also has the process with pics . thebansheezone.com Quote
Amstaff Posted February 24, 2004 Author Report Posted February 24, 2004 good lookin out man!! thanx for the info next question is how will i know if i need a bore? and do you always get a hone before a top end rebuild i mean is it always nessesary? Quote
