1992 KX500 Snow bike engine for Brent

Ok.. The case is back from weld and the cylinder has the valves installed so I can cut the sub port outlets to match the valves...
Still waiting on parts.....

Any updates?

[Sandblaster]

Yeah... Still waiting for the stinkin gears

[Sandblaster]

However, the crank should be here very soon

[Sandblaster]

Finally.. the crank is here
Incidentally... Send your crank parts out for assembly and balancing while dirty... and they will come back dirty with a new rod kit.
Send them out clean or polished and the results speak for themselves.

I'll be calling on Tuesday to get an update on the gears...

Jason spent a couple of hours today cleaning up the left case weld for the counter sprocket guard.
Turned out really nice.
He also enlarged the main bearing oiling hole and capture point.
Also, he spent some time cleaning up the chain wear around the output shaft.
