Well here are the photos of the claying job!! We have a green light

Good tip for you guys... spray some WD40 down on the clay so it doesn't stick to the head!!

Clay???? :confused::clap:

Cool!Make sure you take your piston out to get any that may have got in the rings.Usually when I do this I do one valve at a time with clay spread as thin as possible.Too much clay could easily wreck a valve or even crack the head from being in between head and deck.

It looks like you have way too much clay on the piston. I would be removeing the piston and sleeve to be sure you didn't get any on the side of the piston.

Thanks for the heads up about the clay!!! All cleaned!!!


BTW... it runs... another 10secs of hitting the start button!!!!

hey i can a test to his motor running it started right up....and made really cool flames under the gas tank with no exhaust on lol...i do habve to say the inside of these motors are not as complex as i thought and i dropped my motor today and it was way easier then expected....next is my motor hahaha time to check for what 3 years of riding without the motor being removed looks like

Way to go!Next time will be a walk in the park.Now go ride and have some fun:clap:

Yea... quadman22 make sure you bring the rest of your motor when you pick up your head.... I will finish putting your motor together... see if I can get yours to start right up!! Looks like also this week cdalemx301.... motor... clean.. open up do some checks.. perhaps a cheap stud update.. close back up and get you back up and running....
