I sure hope everything spins and turns freely for you, you've put a lot of work (and heat) into those cases. Can't wait to hear that pipe growl!

Just re-read this entire thread. Looking forward to the first kick on that monster!
Can't believe it has been a year, already. One would think you were build a motor from scratch or something...
GREAT work. Love the pics of your father, too.

If I was a little bit better machinist and had the DRO working on my mill, I'd tackle that no problem. Building back up the surface area isn't a problem but machining the area back out for the counter balancer bearing needs to be done with a boring bar. And without a DRO to center up on that hole...no thanks right nowI don't think you'd be able to salvage this case Billy lol water pump tore it apart just a bitDefinitely a possibility though for someone better than I am!
I'm your dingleberry
The day begins with 3WW
My father was a machinist for 30 years. What a good machinist can do never ceases to amaze me. Back in 1995 I bought my first 85 R for $200, just needed an axle carrier.. It was missing. Dad brought his calipers home, took some measurements on the axle and swingarm and 2 weeks later came home with a steel carrier for me! Blew my mind! Everything fit right the first time. Only thing was he wanted to take another .005" off the OD because it was very hard to turn in the swingarm for chain tensioning.
Sorry about the hijack Billy... All this machinist talk just reminded me of what Dad did for me when I was a broker than broke teenager....

Thanks for that! We fight like cats and dogs occasionally but he is pleasure to be around when we aren't and probably will be the most knowledgeable person I'll ever work with in my life when it comes to equipment, tools, and working on metal. He'll be more glad than I to finally see this thing run I bet!Just re-read this entire thread. Looking forward to the first kick on that monster!

Got all my old mock up bearings and seals remove from both cases. Tapped every hole on both case halves. Really trying to decide how I want to clean these things, I've never had to deal with a pair of engine cases that have been subjected to so much grime and metal shavings before...
Thought about making a poor man's hot tank and using a turkey fryer with simple green it, let them soak at boiling temp for a while and see if that lifts and releases everything? Would really like a big ultrasonic cleaner but...about $500 for one of those.

I've done the same thing with a small fryer and purple power to clean a carb. Works pretty damn well actually
