The engine casing along with the block and head have gone in for sandblasting and the work should be carried out by tomorrow
BHPian SnS_12 recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
Final batch of parts have arrived -1
My friends arrived yesterday and got all my parts except one as they had gone overweight with all their other stuff and unfortunately couldn’t carry the rear grab rail a part I had to hunt a lot and now the weight to put it on the bike gets longer but at least all the critical parts are finally here and we can now get going in finishing up assembling the engine asap.
The engine casing along with the block and head have gone in for sandblasting and the work should be carried out by tomorrow followed by which the blocks and piston’s would be sent for boring a critical job that needs to executed to perfection.
Some pictures…
Checking out the crank for the first time
Post completion of the rebuild the holder plate will have to be made with new wiring for the coil plate. Then I will have a spare set along with a spare petrol tank to use in the future if the need arrives.
Metal shavings on the inside of the magnet
Japan stamped on the crank bearing. All these will be replaced now
These will soon be squeaky clean
Sandblasting will clean the coolant head intake as well.
These guys are not going to stick around for long
Glad the engine was opened up or else with everything looking new the engine would have been eyesore
Bottom end of the casing. Have got a new oil drain nut to replace this one
The broken crankcase stud
Remaining studs which will be replaced with the new ones
The last exhaust stud was being really stubborn
Not the prettiest welding job in the world
But won’t be seen anyway ones the engine is fitted on
Crank housing
Right side
New silencers
Temperature gauge sender. Looked much bigger on the website
Sorting of parts
The best highlight of today. I had ordered this OE RD 200 tank cap to try on my OE RZ tank to see if it fits
Surprise surprise it fitted just Perfect
Really stoked at this decision to buy this cap
A surprise gift from Yambits
Pulls a wheelie too
Magnet and other parts sent be Eddie
This pipe will have to be cleaned too
OE headlight dome as these grooves for the Tacho cable
And speedo cables. Well engineered
