So today I put the engine back together. Installed the valves & had the head milled .090". I have to re-do my exhaust with this "P" head because the flange is clocked differently.
I rehoned the cylinder and gapped my rings to .009" for street use. Lapped my valves and took a straight edge to the cylinder to make sure it is proper. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I love how clean this engine is inside. It looks like it doesnt even have any miles on it. I pray that this one will last!

Thanks Rob!!
Here some pics from tonight. I got my motor mount all ground down and ready to reinforce aka weld. Also secured my plastics a little bit better. All the wheelies seemed to break just about every tab that held the nose on lol ![]() ![]() ![]() and my helper with her safety glasses on ![]()

Hmm.. I think one whole person follows my build... nice lol
Anyways time for sum updates. I reinforced the motor mount last night with metal from a leaf spring. I sure hope this metal does not tear. I made sure to tie it into both the motormount itself as well as the frame. Also relocated my muffler, as it use to scrape if I leaned too low before, and the flange on this "P" head is clocked differently. I still dont know if I like the outcome or not. I kinda rushed it because it was getting late and said F it and welded it together!! Excuse my ugly welds ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And my "cowl hood" that im working on installing lol ![]()

Yep I must admit, I generally read more than post, but do when I feel the need. Don't worry, MANY are watching and following.

Thanks a lot guys, you are the best!!
And rob there is already a headlight and tail light. The black peice on the front blocks the headlight so its only run in the day time until I figure something out. Im hopefully going to be breaking this engine in later on tonight if everything goes right. I noticed when I drained the oil that it was that thick weird smelly break in oil that they ship with the new motors, and it was very clean, so I doubt this motor has barely any miles on it. The rollers also look brand new and the drive faces have absolutely no wear on them : )

YES!! I got the scoot running tonight & broke the rings in!
![]() Its quieter than the other engine...maybe because the muffler is mounted further back but the engine itself is also very quiet with no ticking or knocking whatsoever. Here is a pic of the variator that come off that engine... ![]()
