'84 RZR 250 (Jap import)

[RZResurection]

Yeah Im hearing you Jon,trouble is matey is on a different shift to me now,makes it harder but will get there.
Jon & I disscussing the old 250 engine options,we noticed that I prolly pulled this motor just in time....anyone spot the problem lol.

Still deciding whether to use athena or just use the ported 350 barrels....
Either way this engine to get the full treatment,seals,bearings,new everything etc...tsa pipes if I can swing it if not Ill use Roger's pipes from WICKED ATV,yes ill repeat that again,pipes from Roger at WICKED ATV in Orange County USA ok....unless Glyn can pull his finger out this winter?
Think ill save the athena for the LC as planned.
DG pipes are still the bomb too....

Wow. I've never seen the spooge come past the double lip seal on the crank. Usually it is just an air leak. I guess if air can go in, spooge can come out.

That'll mean the crank journal is grooved.

Hmm yes you may be right there Jeff,I might have to try your sleeve trick for where ever this crank goes into.
Was amazed that it was leaking like it was,I think it was very close to going bang lol.Will know soon,pulling this motor down now.

[L.B]

In the mean time,I have a major issue at this moment.A friend wants to sell me his car......& Im finding it very very .......very hard to say no.

[L.B]

Bearing holder done,can now get these h/d bearing machined for the locating circlip for clutch shaft side bearing.
Not long now Jon.
Anyone else wanting heavy duty bearing sets let me know,I might be able organise something.

[JonW]

Im excited to build my next motor soon, just got to get a couple of rebores done and I'd be all set :)

[L.B]

Heavy duty clutch bearings done.

What to do on a shitty cold wet day. Spend it in the shed,total bliss....
Heli-coil a pulled thread on some LC barrels.

[JonW]

nice work!

[L.B]

Ok.....cardboard cover & address removed to reveal. .........


Rechromed '85 fork tubes for the N1. Got to say Jon for the price they are def worth it! I will be going back to them.

[JonW]

haha cool! Tho you might want to remove, or blur bits of, that pic, it has your addy in it... I need details on these... Oh and I could have gone n got those for you n saved you some post (its within the route I usually navigate most weeks), tho Im sure our 'courier' could have done that yest had it been known they were ready... :/

Great news on the inners... This means I might soon have some progress on my F1 LOL!.... Exciting times!

[L.B]

Also scored another spares gauge set for the N1. The set i bought off John Silver last year are just too good to use. So ill tart these ones up for daily use.

[JonW]

Oh cool, so that worked out then. schweet.

[L.B]

RZ is in for some more work. Rebuilt front forks,new wheel & steering bearings,bigger calipers. Plus need to redo gauges etc....

[JonW]

I was looking at this pic and giggling. Last few weeks Ive been getting more and more peed off with my airhose being loose and having no home. Now I see that what I need is an LC to hang it on...! hahaha! :D

Good to see you using the mx stand, I like its jaunty angle, mine are all flat. angled would work better i reckon.
