Well, she finally puked her guts out.... (pic)

Coming up the freeway and I started hearing bad sounds.
I pull off and i find me and the bike are soaked in oil and smoke is huffing out
the side with each revolution of the motor.
Something let go...

Remember that piston, cylinder, rings, pin, gasket set I bought a long time ago
but never installed....
Welp. If the head is intact then I'm about to install it

You didn't have anything better to do anyway, right Spldart? Hope you take lots of pictures to share with everyone as your project child progresses. Here's to everything going smoothly for you. Good luck!

Looks like a serious imitation of an old H-D.

Count your blessings, it might have just seized up on the move and locked the rear wheel. You don't want that no matter what. Luckily you had a warning sound to alert you of a serious problem.

Tear it down and look inside. Take pics etc. Your previous parts purchase was money well spent by the looks of it.

OMG I wish!!!

This was the worst possible moment imaginable.

I'm committed:

Found three problems so far but nothing that new gaskets, seals and some silicone
wont fix.
New piston, rings and cylinder 'SHOULD' bring compression back to normal.

So did you figure out where it puked the oil from?

spldart · 03-13-2017, 11:43 AM

head gasket wasnt blown out but it was wet with oil.
didn't find a crack in the head.
cleaned head up pretty good.
Hoping it was just the head gasket.
