I received my reworked head and cylinder back from Quenton yesterday and was very happy to get it back! I always hate waiting for things like that , but hopefully it will be worth it. I started putting it back together and had to stop when I realized I was missing a allen wrench I needed for the stud conversion kit which replaces the long studs that went all the way from the head. The hard part was getting it all back on without taking the motor off or even loosening it. I managed this by removing the piston from the connecting rod then getting the piston started into the cylinder enough to leave the hole for the wrist pin sticking out. After getting the cylinder back into place I could re- insert the wrist pin and tighten down the cylinder. The whole process took about 15 minutes and I didn't have to worry about messing up the alignment of the motor.
After putting everything back together and getting the gas flowing to the carb, she fired right up! I ran it for 5-10 seconds and shut it down right away because the bike is in my kitchen! As anxious as I am to test the bike I have to wait until tomorrow as I work nights and finished this all this morning. I want to make sure I have everything back together correctly!
I haven't taken any photos yet, but the cylinder and head look very nice. It was painted black by Quenton. I didn't receive any info with this, but assume there is nothing to break in? I will post some pics tomorrow after I've tested the bike.
