Break-In
Break-In
My motor should be back together this week and hopefully I'll have it mounted and running this weekend. It has a new crank, piston, sleeve, and intake valves (thanks Winky ). I guess taking it to the MX track for its virgin run may not be a good idea. What are the proper break-in procedures?

jwheat and a local machinist looked the crank over and it apparently has the Z400 bearing installed and is good to go. He's just going to true it. :head:

The crank was fine (almost)! It even had a Carillo rod on it. But it was .006 out and had to be trued and balanced. Tim (at Cycle City) managed to get it to .0005. That should take care of excess vibration.:clap:

You beat me to the post!
He's already got it balanced out? Good grief he's quick. Any word on the valves?
