cute wee gem

fuck that was sweet

Epic work as usual you mad bastard.

That makes sense. It spun when i pulled it down so assumed it was meant to haha. Cheers man

I'm reassembling a R154 at the mo after putting in a marlin crawler thrust washer and have a question about the output shaft bearing clearance. Basically as per the photo it goes: output bearing -> spacer -> 5th gear -> center bearing -> 1st gear Now I pressed the 5th, center bearing and 1st gear on at the same time, then slipped the spacer on and pressed the output bearing on. Which cause the spacer to be locked tight, I'm 90% sure it spun on the shaft before I pulled it to bits, so i pulled it all off and pressed it all on again, using a .1mm feeler gauge between the spacer and the output bearing, so now it spins. I can't seem to find any form of spec on this clearance or if it even needs to be to a spec? It has a table for axial play, but I'm a bit confused tbh

Mrs loves it when i rebuild stuff in the lounge.

Tonights job, rebuilding the H1C.

injector stuck open? edit: i should learn to read. ignore me

Bit of a mock up as there's a few bits left to put on, turbo is back off to rebuild it this week etc

Ported, cleaned up, skimmed, valves and seats cut, valve clearances all set with new shims

So I finished this. Then someone gave us a wad of cash and drove away with it today. Never really ended up using it, so made a couple $$ on it instead Finished article http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=767823006

5ish years ago?, my neighbor has one of them blue china WSE200 tigs and haven't heard anything bad about it yet.

Had a mitech that shat itself twice before they gave me a new replacement, which also shat itself. Sold it after paying to fix it after warranty ran out. Now using an oldschool nzig transtig which is awesomly crap but works at least..

Totally agree with NicT, everything you do is mint. Blue silicon ruined my last engine bay, so yuck.

Just read through this again as I've just bought a 98 RMX, this thread is full of win. Have you still got this beast?

Tried some copper gasket spray?

Nice one! If you didn't know already the XT250 shares a lot of parts incl the same engine, SR250 also has the same engine with a different carb

What are the little tie things you've used at the end of the braid?

I think I've got a set of those green injectors? Rail looks very familiar

Balanced rotating assembly, ARP fasteners, ACL bearings, NPR rings. Stir and enjoy ARPs are kinda overkill for the current setup, but I may one day change to forged items and a bigger turbo for shits and giggles

Get a W58 if you can get one for a similar price. They have a better 5th gear ratio

Just going off the comparison tests they have on youtube, I haven't actually tried any chinese ones - might be ok for a factory replacement but not sure I'd want to try on a boosted setup. Check these out Sorry to hi-jack your thread, keep up the good work sir

Fuck that shit ^^ Some of those china injectors lock up at higher pressure, even I'm not that cheap lol - not worth the risk imo

Confirmed.

Second gate all mounted up tonight
