It sure is nice to clean the gasket, anneal it with a torch and throw it back on. Was the piston top that clean or did you scrape some carbon?
I cleaned some carbon. It was pretty clean looking though. The head was spotless. Lectron and Amsoil... love it.
Gotta a good mate rebuilding the 93 WR 500 and gotta show him this thread! Gotta love the 500 old school 2 smoker. Can't wait till his is up and running.
i gotta ride on his b4 he pulled it down and it had stuck floats so was not running good but he's ready to put on the trailer soon for a blast.. I wanna see what she's like now as even tho it wasn't running good it pulled harder than a teenager.... I think he's gunna need to be Popeye to hang onto it in the sandy whoop section at finke as that what he's built it for!!
Nice trails, the 500 sounds awesome. The yellow bumble bee series Yama I think of Marty Moates? He raced his race, he got to put it all together one time, for one day he was on top of his game. What a lucky guy most of us never get to feel that kind of success. 1980 carlsbad rocked that day. RIP Marty.
