i put the stock bore back on last night. compression is good but she wont start. i checked for spark and fuel and she's getting both.
any ideas?


Thanks:

I got everything back together, put it on the bike and did a compression check. 65psi
i'm convinced that it's the base gasket. i'm gonna put the stock bore back on and see what compression i get. if it's good i'm gonna order a new gasket for the 51mm bore.

well i used my friend's press. baka, i had already put it back together b4 you left your advise of not pressing it together. It went back rather easy so i'm crossing my fingers that everything will be alright.


TJ

this is the best i could do. it was my first one so not bad i guess.

awesome. thanks for the info.


TJ

my buddy has a press. he would do it for me. what's the benefit of porting it?

No crank tool here. looks like she's staying the way she is. thanks mystic.

yeah, that's why i was wondering if it would be worth it to do.


TJ

would it do me any good to do any intake porting while i got it off?

new to me motor. got it free

Are there any scratches or score marks on this bore? Did you use a new head gasket when you installed it? There must be something your not seeing or is being overlooked to have such a huge compression lost or the gauge is now not working right. Did try another gauge? Or put a little oil in the spar...

i checked the seal on the starter side. it's good. i can't figure out why my compression is so low so i scored another block for 30 bucks. hopefully i can have it together by middle of next week and see how she does.

10-4... i'll check that out tonight.

yeah i know i have a stator. but isn't that on the oil pump side?

[quote="evilone"]Other side[/quote


wouldn't that be the alternator side?
