Deja Vu
Brakes??? I thought thats what pedestrians were for!
Engines finally in, all the bits have been changed over, just waiting for the neighbours to bugger off to work then i can see if she starts and runs ok.
Fingers crossed.......................
Sounds lovely, no smoke, no rattles, in fact it sounds a lot better than the original engine.
Just got to run it up to temp a couple of times, then change the oil and filter, flush out the coolant, refill it with nice new coolant, then out for a slow, leisurely ride this afternoon.
Well Chaps, original engine re-fitted, clutch return spring replaced, a few new gaskets here and there, exup valve stripped and regreased, a few wires resoldered, a couple of water hoses replaced, new oil and filter, just got to fit the carbs and hopefully get it fired up.
looks like it's going to be a good un , i know the potential of engine swaps i'm in the process of selling off my gsxr7/11 for parts.......only 1 thing though PAINT THE BLOODY ENGINE it's a pity to have a nice looking bike only to have a scabby looking motor , i've found PJ1 gives the best results and is a doddle to apply and is very hard wearing and if applied correctly can withstand petrol,brake fluid and most other things that other engine paint cant cope with.
....when will it be runnin?
