Title: CB SHAFT just checked out, Part deux
Post by: Blueknyt on March 25, 2005, 11:50:19 PM
OK, got better then a year and many thousand miles outa the last quick fix CB shaft bearing job. i knew it wouldnt last forever but i needed it back on the road ASAP and did it in under 15 hours.  now the Bearings are shot out again.  I will also state i Flogged this engine pretty darn good the whole time. I have another engine (75mm pistons) awaiting some final gaskets then to be swaped into the fram. Once done i will bench this engine and setup my camera and see about taping what i do.  Keep in mind im a shade tree mechanic and belive in Recycling used parts like old bearings from other engines and so forth.

Note:must remember to pick up plasti gauge
HAHAHAHA

at least yall will get to see what goes into tear down and reassembly as i will also hone out cyl and put new rings in. Might even  relap in the valves if i can finnish making the valve compressor adaptor

I definitely want a copy!   I'm going to redo the lower end of my engine this summer in preparation for a nitrous kit.  I'd love to know what I'm in for...
