98bonerSTOCKshee Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 A bud of mine lost his mother on sunday he called me up so we could go do alittle riding late last night, just to help get his mind off of things... The good friend I am I had no 2nd thoughts... WE headed out about 9pm and rode afew hours near the lake by my house. I was getting one of my "vibes" that I get before something happens that isn't suppose to.. Went riding anyway... We got afew good hours in and was on our way back, then it happened the shee started making a clicking noise from inside the motor somewhere I shut it down instantly. It almost sounds like a bolt or something rattling around in there.. Tonight I started the hunt for the noise, I checked the stator side hoping it was a loose bolt no luck... I checked the clutch said no luck there either. Pulled the carbs and checked to see if the reeds were still intact all good there. I now have the head removed and if I turn the motor over I can barely here a click... Tomorrow I gotta pull the cylinders .. I am thinking it might be a rod now... If not that ??? Guess I'll be looking else where.. Maybe Have to split the case and check the tranny.. Shee was still running fine and dandy no power lost what so every, just a damn clicky clicky noise.. One of these days I'll learn to listen to these damn "vibes" I get, atleast it happened near home and not off at the dunes or someother riding excursion... I feel like I am the one who just lost a "loved one". Quote
RNBRAD Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 Make sure you didn't loose a timing plate screw and that it's not flipping around inside your flywheel. Quote

98bonerSTOCKshee Posted May 11, 2005 Author Report Posted May 11, 2005 went and looked at the cylinders, the left side has a fairly deep gash on the exhaust side near the top of the stroke, gonna need a bore job and new pistons as of now, not sure if the rod and/or the crank is good yet...damnit to hell ain't got the $$$ for a rebuild.... Looks like shee'll be down for awhile unless I win the lotto or rob a bank or blah blah blah.... Could someone please let me borrow your shee. I know of a few guys here that converted to 4 tokers that have abandon the shee (scredish, txblueshee) how about you let me keep her clean of the cob webs for ya!! Gonna need something to get my speed fix.. hum... anyone wanna buy a '79 international school bus gasoline engine? Maybe a '73 dodge Dart that needs restorin? How about my 10 yr daughter? Maybe I can put my sole up for auction on Ebay!! Got a vintage Atari 2600 that is possibilly worth a fortune.....2x 52" projection screen TV's, vcr, DVD,pictures of my kids, used chapstick all for sale..... later Chad Quote

98bonerSTOCKshee Posted May 12, 2005 Author Report Posted May 12, 2005 School bus ran the last time I drove it Thanksgiving from Dallas to Lil Sahara in OK. It needs a tune up and a muffler on it right now, other than that everything else works I believe. The dart runs and drives even has current tags and inspection, the front end is worn out it won't keep tires on it... Body in fair shape needs minor repair and paint, the interior needs lots of work, it's got rusted holes in floor board.. Yeah derby junker!! If interested I'll post pics.... Quote
98bonerSTOCKshee Posted May 14, 2005 Author Report Posted May 14, 2005 does the dart run? derby junker just list the Dart on Ebay.... 1971 dart Quote

School Bus this is my piston looks as if the top ring spun and then caused the bottom ring to pop out and get all squished away... that liitle spec on the side is actually the piece of ring it is paper thin now..
