The one you get a good view of is stock sa50. The other 2 you can't see very good are se50 .25 over and se50 46mm. I want to use the 46mm on the se50 but then the wife would be faster

. After i get 72cc for sa50 i just might use the 46mm on the se50!

Greetings:

You signed up for a dip in their tank. They obliged. You got what you paid for. There's nothing to complain about. If you had just scraped some of the gasket material and insect abodes off before you sent the parts, you would have had a better outcome. Live. Learn.

Organic materials and some adhesives are insoluble in hydrocarbons. Gasket material, glue and coccoons won't magically vanish. It looks to me like the parts are pretty well de-greased. I'd kill to work with them instead of mine.

Unfortunately there is Real Work involved in getting nasty old engine parts looking like new. Handing them over to a Fairy Godtanker isn't a substitute. I'm sorry you were disappointed, but the tank job gave you a Big head start. Now break out the scrapers, brass brushes, gasket remover and have fun.

WHOA WHOA WHOA...I would have cleaned myself but the shop has a great reputation so i went in for a quote. and yes there is something to complain about, i asked if i should remove gasket material or if i could do anything to help out to make it easier for him. He said straight up "nah, the tank will take all the gaskets off, and the cases will look new like this spot (pointed to inside crankcase area), but with the cast iron heads, they will most likely still have some rust on them." Not being a *, but i didn't get results he said i'd get. If he said nothing and just hot tanked i would have nothing to complain about. Live and learn to trust no one!!!!!!!!! Well, trust a few people i guess.

And since i'm still irritated by you saying i have nothing to complain about. What about the start of this thread, look at the first post and picture. Read the description seller wrote, and tell me i had nothing to complain about that either! He dropped price but i still had to drive 108 miles before seeing the damage and hearing it run like s***. The pictures he took of it were at angles where body damage couldn't be seen or from more of a distance so it wasn't noticable. But anyways, how was your New Year? Good i hope!

So when you picked your parts up from him, what did he say to you when you told him you were not happy with the way the parts came out?

evilone · Post by **evilone** » Thu Jan 01, 2009 3:37 pm

Well, i took them to him in a closed box. I took his word about how clean he claimed they'd come out. So when i picked the parts up they were in the same box and i didn't see results till i got home. I did try cleaning with some powerful cleaner that recommends wearing gloves with no good result. So, i kinda don't blame the guy...but don't tell me to leave gaskets on since they will come off in cleaning and parts will look new. Oh well, Brake cleaner next time!

Wow dude that totally blows, I would certainly complain man, looks like a crappy job to me.

How much did you buy your SR for btw? I dropped my seller's original $350 price pretty steep, especially once I saw the bike in person, but he was straight up about everything and I can't complain about a dio for $120 heh but curious as to what you paid.

Back when my Red SR's case was filthy (but mostly grease and grime, not rust) I cleaned it up using a parts washer at our shop like this one once cases where split and everything with great results! Lots of brake cleaner would be similar I suppose, find a shop that would let you "borrow" the use of a parts cleaner like that and you'd be set.
