Kevin2109 · October 12th, 2012, 01:20 PM

lgk · October 12th, 2012, 01:21 PM

No. That's step 1. No use in a better camera if you still take pics with the resolution of a playskool.

alex.s · October 12th, 2012, 01:46 PM

come on guys, back on topic. the topic is, who's going to protest my motor at cvma so i can make back some money from this rebuild!!!

come on, clearly i'm running 24:1 JE pistons... look at that crank... its totally lightened or something... the helicoil in the head... adds.... something. and a cam chain that's in spec? insane.

Kevin2109 · October 12th, 2012, 01:47 PM

So here is the joke for all of ya

Link to original page on YouTube.

At 0:52 you will see the resolution switch to 1.080Potato The rest is shot in 720p with GoPro's

How many more torques can you crank your shaft with now?

alex.s · October 12th, 2012, 04:33 PM

6 torques.

unless they are applied by smaller women. in which case.... 11 TORQUES!

02337 · October 12th, 2012, 04:58 PM

I really kind of prefer the look of engines broken down rather than put together. A sick fetish of mine

Me too! Thats the only thing that makes me happy when ripping apart my engine

Except I normally get to hang out with @alex.s when working on engines, so its worth it

02337 · October 12th, 2012, 05:34 PM

The shine of a cylinder wall is like a freshly shaven &$*%#*.... Too far?

lgk · October 12th, 2012, 05:37 PM

Naw, keep going...

Not seeing it yet.

rawbert625 · October 12th, 2012, 05:55 PM

This may be a dumb question, but how do you put the cam shaft chain and cam shafts back in correctly?
they're suppose in specific positions in relation to each other, right?

choneofakind · October 13th, 2012, 09:19 AM

Yes - the cams go in with the engine at 2T with the markings facing opposite directions, parallel to the cam cover.

alex.s · October 13th, 2012, 12:21 PM

There is a mark on the flywheel for tdc, and marks on each cam for positioning. It's easy to set

speaking of, did you ever check the FZR's?

alex.s · October 13th, 2012, 12:25 PM

Not since last valve job but it's an electrical problem

alex.s · October 15th, 2012, 11:21 AM

ordered clutch and throttle cables
broke her in on the broken cables

cleaning up trailerboys bodywork that i'm borrowing

choneofakind · October 15th, 2012, 11:40 AM

Did you paint the cam cover yellow?

alex.s · October 15th, 2012, 12:26 PM

yes

choneofakind · October 15th, 2012, 01:21 PM
