oldschoolsdime92 Posted February 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 At this point, this is the worst eBay transaction I've ever had. So much for a powerseller with huge amounts of positive feed back. If I dont have my engine by Wednesday , I'm filing a claim with eBay.

serpentracer Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I hate when some of them don't give you a tracking number. I think it should be mandatory if you are shipping stuff like an engine to someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanDy Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 looks good! Hollar if you need help, I SHOULD have school work kicked in the ass by Friday this week and be able to help friday evening or Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Here's another pic. I have to remove the air injection tonight and get the holes tapped for the plugs to block off the air injection ports on the exhaust. .Helmutt is going to drop off a motorcycle jack tonight that I think will work excellent to get the engine into position, and hold it steady. Granda080 is coming Saturday, and if all goes well , I should be back on the road by Saturday evening. I will keep the pics coming. After this is done, the fun really starts with digging into the other engine. Thanks Vandy! I appreciate the offer. I will let you know!

oldschoolsdime92 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Can someone change the name of this thread to engine swap? I will start a new thread when I fix the other engine. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhaag Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Can someone change the name of this thread to engine swap? I will start a new thread when I fix the other engine. Thanksi was just reading through this and wondered if you sere still going to change the gears.anyway, and not to be a killjoy, might the new engine have the same problem, at least eventually? and is there anything you can do to the new one to prevent it form happening again, before you install it (better parts)?

oldschoolsdime92 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 The new engine appears to have the 7900 miles on it that the seller claimed. Everythings I..excellent shape. I've seen some with 15k and have the issue and some with 100k and no issue. I think it comes down to the rider. The original owner/builder of this bike spent a lot.of time on the track, along with very spirited rides. I'm pretty mellow for the most part. I am still going to fix the issue with my other engine and keep it as a spare, incase it does happen. I can then swap back, and fix the issue.

mello dude Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 ^^^^^ - I admit I'm not familar with your engine, but - with tapping holes, arent you creating chips that could fall into the engine? Just curious..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 They claim its far enough down the exhaust to not have to worry about it. But for safe measured, I had the shop vac on hand. The directions from ivans performance, actually says you don't even have to remove the header. Just start the bike and it will come out of the exhaust. I actually didn't notice any chips come out, but I also was using the shop vac.

oldschoolsdime92 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 He's actually tapping outside the engine. As soon as the cylinders fire they'll blow any aluminum straight through the exhaust. Unless the shavings get caught in the muffler' date=' which also won hurt a thing. Looking good, Brandt. Hope to see you and the FZ at Deal's Gap in June.[/quote']Thats the plan! The engine should get to breath tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolsdime92 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 It was a pretty smooth swap. I've put about a mile on it since completion and it shifts 150% better. Smooth and crisp. No slop. The engine all together runs 100% better than the previous also. The throttle response is much more crisp, easier starting, quieter. Sounds excellent. This engine was claimed at having 7,906 miles on it, and as smooth as it runs/shifts. I'm guessing thats exactly whats on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
