putting my bike together...please help me out along the way..

Were the cases split anytime?

Well, good news and bad news. Good news:



Bad news is I have a moderate leak at my center case gasket. I'm not panicking just yet, because I wanted to see if this is somewhat common on a fresh motor build until things "cure", and/or could be a simple issue of retorquing some bolts. Engine is hot as fuq so I have time to kill...

Handy having talented friends;







Both wheels...finally done...and checked off the list.

Were the cases split anytime?

Umm...the motor was built from scratch...so imma say "yeah".

But I'm not sweating that right now. I retorqued the case bolts and have heat cycled the motor a few times since and it ain't been back.

Good news. Head work, porting, flywheel, bore, cylinders- none of that requires the bottom end to be split so I wasn't thinking yours was split on its rebuild. I could be wrong. Unless you had work on the crank done...or crank oil galley plug.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah I'd actually brought him what was basically a basket case. It was a low mileage SS engine but the oil galley plug was backing out. So that's what started all the shenanigans...powder coated the cases and had the crank balanced for the new pistons "while we were in there", then of course all the other stuff. Sorry didn't mean to be a wiseass

How's it goin'?

[Rudemouthsky]

Getting there. Waiting on one stinkin' Y splitter for my fuel pump and a M10x1.5 flange nut for my MM bolt. Had a scary moment when I was hitting a brick wall trying to shift up from 2nd gear...started the motor fiddled around and there it was. I'm stoopid, the chain needs to be on lol. I need just one damn day to finish it without my phone ringing or evil witch women bothering me to do shit.

Let me know if you figure out how to make this happen.
