25.01.2022 A crank repair.

23.01.2022 Today's oddity. Knowledge quiz..... Why on earth would I destroy a valuable relic like this? Give me your comments........to be fair, it dint sit well with me whilst chopping away...quite upsetting. Apparently back in the day they swapped outer cylinders for the racers, due to the angle of exhaust port outlets....from pointing outwards...To cross eyed, all to make exhaust clearance better for road racing........or something like that.....interesting though.

21.01.2022 84 cr500 sleeve fitting.

21.01.2022 Rotax jet ski supercharger cover.

19.01.2022 Honda cr 500 cylinder resleeve. Been a while since Iv done one of these.

18.01.2022 Mid 80's Honda exhaust manifold,worn down....build back up to size.

18.01.2022 I only do maybe 10-15 sleeves a yr and it's hard to compare how different jobs go, cause I forget ....this week if had 2 very comparable resleeves to do,Interesting how 2 different resleeves went. Rm250 97.cutting the Plating off this caused havoc with the boring process,New sleeve needed lots of trimming around the ports.came out v.well all the same. 04ish yz250 was much easier to cut the plating off,no chattering or grabing ( although this cylinder had huge wear on it and p...laying was thin)the porting on the new sleeve matched almost perfectly...minimal trimming. Weirdly the yz barrel discoulered during the heating process....but still more than accurate.I The yz has a larger expansion than the rm at the same temp. Sleeve slipped in easier than the rm. I found it vaguely interesting...... See more

18.01.2022 Hi there, can the chap whose sent me the 2x kx 500 cylinder heads to have the decompression knobs fitted please contact me. Embarrassingly Iv misplaced your no...no rush.

17.01.2022 Chain derailment damage and the results of a previous repair which made the job much harder.

17.01.2022 Rd 350lc crank rebuild.

16.01.2022 Kawasaki quad case,snapped chain knocked out sensor switch housing and the usual clutch actuator sleeve.

16.01.2022 It seems the inmates have taken over the asylum.

16.01.2022 No aftermarket sleeve available for your cylinder? Here's an alternative. Yz490 cylinder way past its maximum O/S bore.After market sleeve for this particular cylinder is v. expensive. Generic 4t sleeve fitting.

16.01.2022 Kx 80 cylinder head fin repair.

13.01.2022 Results of a nasty kickback I assume.

12.01.2022 H2 Kawasaki, worth saving I'm advised.

12.01.2022 Kawasaki gpz1100 cylinder lump.

11.01.2022 Kawasaki 2 piece clutch cover mod.

10.01.2022 Same old......reasonably straight forward. Early 90's cr250,rod damage,selector rail boss Busted out (not quite so easy)

10.01.2022 Finally had a chance to test a new 2018 KTM85SX on the dyno... and the results were... um... interesting. The new engine has great midrange due to the new powe...rvalve but significantly less top end than the previous model. We used to see around 25rwhp out of a stock 13-17 engine, now it’s 23.4 and down to 23 when very hot. PINK line = stock 2018 engine BLUE line = stock 2018 engine, HGS pipe, stock silencer GREEN line = our modified (and reliable) 13-17 engine. With the new powervalve design I’m sure we’ll see killer midrange AND killer top end once this 2018 engine is modified. Then it’ll be shipped back to its owner in the UK for some hard racing.

10.01.2022 Kawasaki 80 resleeve.....quite time consuming.

10.01.2022 asking $7500 negotiable, extremely well made trailer,holds 5 bikes,inertia disc brakes,water tank and pump,no faults,always stored undercover,this cost $11k 6yrs ago and has v.little mileage on it.NO TIME WASTERS thanks.

09.01.2022 Odd way of shortening the stroke.

08.01.2022 Honda cr500 84 engine rebuild. A good very low hr motor but it's had a catastrophic top end melt down.just mechanical repairs on this,no cosmetics.

07.01.2022 These work well. Especially on this yz490,startings a breeze. Makes life easy for you,your Kickstarter,and cases. ( no more nasty case wrecking kick backs) Auto decompression knob.

07.01.2022 Monday morning carnage....that's nasty.

07.01.2022 Big deep busted fins.........possibly the hardest job to get straight and accurate.

07.01.2022 New cylinder boring machine......rebores $65 For the first 5 peeps........$90 there after. Cylinder sleeving initially $175 .....that price will not last long......check out anybody else's price on that job.

07.01.2022 Yz250 81. Seems to be a common problem.

06.01.2022 Another decomp valve....must have for big two strokes.

06.01.2022 How interesting....... Will we get spark after a clean up. Guesses?

06.01.2022 Just a nice motor refurbish to include all bearings,seals,rod and piston. That vapour blasting or whatever it's called does a great job......realy impressed! Oops!......somebody forgot to send the p/v and w/p covers to the blasters.

05.01.2022 Missing: 10mm Socket - A Special Report from the Bullshit Corner #MissingMy10mm

04.01.2022 And another decomp valve. Kx500.

04.01.2022 A budget 83 yz 250 resto. This was a basket case start. Owner to finish.

04.01.2022 84 yz 250 never been used since total resto 6yrs ago,it's been kept under a sheet oiled up. Everything nos.......as near to concourse as you could find..low hr motor,matching eng/ frame no's Race it or just look at it Doubt you would find better. $5250 firm.

04.01.2022 Kawaski h2 (so i believe.) Badly broken cylinder liner to be replaced.

01.01.2022 H2 750 Kawasaki triple 2t. Not what you'd call a politically correct creation,even back in the 70's. This ones thrown a rod and numerous cooling fins broken off.

01.01.2022 I was asked by numerous people how the ktm water cooled head had the decomp fitted.
