There used to be a guy in Hayward; Precision Boring & Machining that we used to take stuff to get checked & machined. Check with him; his name is Mitch. Another guy in Oakland: Bill Smith Machine & Quandry (Hemachned all the parts formy racebike motor). Call around or check with some bike shops also. Factory Pro (Marc Salvisburg)doesn't do that type of work anymore; just super tuning or I would have recommended him.

 

ok. ill call the machine shop in town and see if they do that. if it is the head leaking do i just have to get a new one or can it be fixed depending on where it is leaking? thanks for all your help brotha man

 

You'd be best getting another one. Find a used motor on ebay or a salvage yard. There is acycle salvage (Recycle)in Richmond I think.

 

ah richmond lol i went to school there. gehtto town but hey if they have it. but what are the chances of me buying a used one and it being bad as well.

 

Tell them that if it's bad, you'll bring it back. They might check it out for you.

 

k well on my head where the 2 tubes come in from the thermostat and what not. the guy had put some sealer in there and had put 2 rubber o rings in there to seal it up. i took all that crap off and i wanted to see what the gap was like and its pretty bad. coudl that have anything to do with the coolant in the oil?also is it mabye the wrong part or somthing? the bolts taht hold the tube on line up perfectly but the holes seems too big. or mabye does it just need a bigger o-ring?

 

anybody?

 

I don't think having the wrong size o-rings would cause the coolant to leal in the oil.It woud only cause a coolant leak externally and would come out fron the little seep holes on the side of the cylinders.

 

k. well i got the gasket today and am probably going to install it tommarow ngiht. what is the tigten sequince on the head?

 

also is there a trick to getting the cylinder on the piston rings are not co-operating when i try to slide it over the pistons.
