Engine rebuild
Got an early Christmas present this week from Firefox Racing. They rebuilt my RZ500 engine with complete re-bore, new pistons, rings, clutch and refurb of all casings etc. It looks the business and can't wait to get the rest of the bike finished to start assembly again

Re: Engine rebuild
Sweet!
Re: Engine rebuild
Very nice. You install different reeds?
Re: Engine rebuild
Very curious what the cost was for your rebuild.
If you're not comfortable posting the amount, perhaps you could pm me.
I'm in the states, so I won't be able to use that builder.
Looks very clean!

Re: Engine rebuild
Thanks for the comments guys. Yes new reed valves fitted and pretty much now a brand new engine. The guys at Firefox Racing in Leeds, North Yorkshire did it for me (£2,600). They are a really good bunch of guys and the time spent on the engine shows in the quality of workmanship. http://firefoxracing.co.uk/engine-servicing/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Re: Engine rebuild
That price seems very reasonable - even in the Empires money
And the engine looks great!

Re: Engine rebuild
If anyone is wanting any work done at Firefox Racing in Keighley, Leeds, ask for Mick. Cut his arm off and his veins are configured with a fine blend of 2-stroke fuel/oil mixture. There is nothing he doesn't know about 2-stroke engines, especially, 350LC and RD500's. He is a really nice guy as well. http://firefoxracing.co.uk/engine-servicing/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
