What's on your bench?

Talked myself into deleting the very thick base gasket it only has 130 compression on it's first tank.

Wish I took a before pic but here's that 026 cylinder all cleaned up. Being that it was straight gassed it had a lot of transfer.

Also if you don't have one consider getting one of these lights. They're super bright and great for sticking inside a cylinder for inspecting.

Do you already have the Foredom power head?

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

I got pretty deep inside this 6000. It was leaking bar oil all along the seam.

I loctited and re-torqued all the bolts to clean that up.

There were these seam edges that were cracked and raised, looking like they were ready to break loose so I broke em loose.

Then after one peek at these transfers I knew it was time to get the felling axe and wedge out to do a little work on em.

After a little port work and intake flange resurfacing this thing just wants to run. Here it is all ready to try out a fresh off the roll loop of 3/8 square ground with a 9-pin rim.

Not sure yet, but doubt it, knowing these guys probably the cheapest Chinesium bearing they could find.

It wasn't totally dry but there was a suspicious lack of an oil film.

I flushed the crankcase with straight gas before I split it, trying to see how much debris came out.

Finally got around to adding a vice to my basement workbench. Garage is unheated so it's too cold to do much out there. Didn't want to drill/screw into the top so I clamped it. Then spent a few hours with a file.


Now I just need to make a home made chain vice insert.
