Friday 20/07/07 Yet another Mad cap night of Mechanical Mayhem at Chez gijoe1313!

[gijoe1313]

Righto, it seems my rides and mechanical needs have been worked through and sorted!

Just another open invite to all and sundry who need their rides to be looked at and worked on! Bring your steeds, bring the stuff, guff and bling to bung onto/into your bikes!

Will be stripping back all parts of Dandi and working out the list to do to get her into trackday snarling performance.

And oh yes, usual vittles and vitae aqua will be provided for nourishment of physical selves whilst mechanical steeds of soul exploration are dealt to!

[xwhatsit]

Well, that's my mother's birthday, so I'm definitely not coming this time

Have fun lads.

Sorry I couuldn't make it last Friday - out of town funeral. The third one in a month actually. I seem to be dangerous to know.

Anyway, did you finish stripping down that RZ motor.

If so, what state was the crank assembly in?

I ask because it looked like the head had been attacked by a needle roller or two and they are supposed to live in the big ends. It usually means big trouble if they find their way up into the chamber.

Roger that.
May I suggest slowing the disassembly pace a bit from the last session and maybe take a few notes.
Otherwise (and no aspersions intended), I doubt if you will be able to easily figure out how it goes together again, even with a workshop manual.
If I was presented with a box of random bits 3 months from now, I would have to think hard to come up with a working unit and I've rebuilt one or two.
But hey, if you are into Chinese puzzles, it may be right up your street.

Funny you should mention that...

And J, I guess I might as well just leave me tools there then!

Heehee! Point taken - will be setting up a photo assembly so each step can be done! And also got contacted by a mysterious sensei who knows all and sees all about two strokers

Anyhow, will be going over all the dissassembled units and seeing whether they are good or need to be biffed!

Excellent idea !!

You will need a press and some skill to dismantle the crank assembly.

Yes, that can be arranged... a shady character has approached me with his interest in all things two stroke as well and has a workshop capable of doing major mechanical mayhem!

I get the feeling that other bikes will be worked on this Friday! Heh....

[breakaway]
