ZXR400 HELP

[Satch]

Hi there guy im after some advice

Ive got a zxr project and its got a smoky as hell motor so im thinking either rings or valve seals.

Does anyone have a decent motor to sell me?

does anyone know of a good garage motor mechanic who wnt charge $60 an hour plus gst!!

also id really like to get hold of a shop manual so i could do it myself anyone have one they could sell me or know where i can get one?

also whos the best to buy engine parts off?, rings etc


thanks

dude Ive got a complete engine minus head you could make use of to build yours . They have steel base and head gaskets so you could reuse em.
Yours is probably a bit tired, It probably needs a valve grind and general degunging. Mine was running fine but I used the head to build a race motor.

would a zxr engine work/fit in my gpz400r? cause my gear selector shaft holder thingy snapped off. so the whole gear box/engine is now useless.

Mate it's your lucky day, my mechanical expertise is available at the meager fee of $20 an hour.

That's good value when you consider I'll take five times as long as a bike shop and do the job 1/4 as well as it could have been done.

Get your calculator out son, you can't beat them odds.

hey white trash, you serious or joking???, if you know what youre doing ill pay you but if i can get a manual ill do it myself. i did a bottom end top end swap on a zxr 250 a while back.

so frosty it might be wrth a look at your bottom end, how many kms were on it? this bike of mines only got 18kms on it so it should have a mint bottom end maybe i could just mike up you pistons and swap them over depending on how my bore measures up.

you got a number i can ring you on for a chat?

What do you think, Satch? If you're going to pay someone to do it, he should be the last person you'd consider!

If its only got 18km on it, why is it so smoky?

Yeah it beats me to aye, the kms line up with the ownership papers so i reckon there right, i rekon either shes bin hot as hell and the rings have lost tension or who knows what else???

but then it is an early 90's kawasaki

ummm......you could buy my gpz engine it [apparently] has race cams but there is a problem with some piece of steel, selector shaft i think, but the engine works..a bit rough just needs a tune...it also has quad carbs if thats any different from a stock gpz400r ninja.
