Our strokers have been troublesome but not expensive.



My first blow up cost a piston but after a hone I was able to re use the cylinder.



This one, well I freed the ring, cleaned the piston up, put it back together using all the old parts and started it up tonight no problems.

I will get to see how it goes on the dyno tomorrow night. It might be down on power a little but hey, it was a cheap fix.

Yes well little bit jealous of that fact. I can't count the times a ceased my old 50 only to let it cool down and ride away.

Whats the story with this blow up it looks like an odd one?

LOL... sorry Rich, not meaning to steel ya thunder

The 350lc was a greymouth effort out of the hairpin wack the taps wide open then lock up, no warning no noise and never really worked out why, bigend had got rather hot before ka boom so thinking it was a bit worn out down there, or thinking about it I remember a partly blocked jet.

Funny you should mention Warwick, IIRC I was on his ares when it droped a valve, Im thinking he was worried I was about to swing on past him so he did some kinda voo doo mo me... tell ya what tho. finished the race and it was still running back in the pits, only Honda aye

After many moons and a few dollars it lives again. Better faster stronger.

Dear God it looks like Frankenstein with all those welds around the engine. Good job.

No welds. Just corrosion. She aint pretty but she will kick some ass.

[hmurphy]

Ahhh I see. I was wondering who could have pulled off welds on that shitty cast stuff. You're right it will kick some ass, but not all.

FCR's are a dead sexy piece of kit

Nice work Rich; maybe a round 4 run at minefield to tune her up???
I'm sure Skunk will let a few out with Streetstocks if we ask nicely....
