Didn't get the Yamaha running. He was pretty bummed. So was I. I need to split the case. Tranny is bad.

The wifes rancher I think lost a head gasket. It was down on compression and burning oil. But kept running. It's a Honda so what do you expect. I'll get an OEM Gasket for it. she did manage to flip it twice. Bent the new bars a little. And bruised up her elbow pretty good. She's getting more protective gear.

Took the motor apart last night. Bad piston. It was rubbing against the cylinder wall. The rings are basically welded into the piston. So the cylinder goes back to the machine shop today. I hope he can tell us what went wrong. As he just did the machining and rings on the piston and we did the assembly I'm not expecting nor asking for anything from him.

I'll have to get a 1mm overbore this time to get the scoring out of the sleeve.

Crank was bad so we sent it out. Motor is apart.



New piston. Pro-x 1.5mm overbore
