American army decided to downsize and the decided the best way to calculate payment was to measure the man from one part of his to another and woulds give $10 per inch. First guy in was asked where he wanted to be measured he said from head to toe. He was measured and got his payment Next guy wanted to be measured from finger tip to finger tip with his arms stretched out he got his payment Next Guy in said from the tip of my penis to his testicles The examiner said you wont get much and proceeded to measure him He stopped and said where are your testicles. Vietnam said the soldier.

I brought Piston and Rib=ngs to my Friendly Motorcycle Guru Who confirmed it as Standard he said no marks standard only marked when oversize, Order has now been sent off (Christmas fund empty) Does anyone know where I can get a Standard Camchain screw The previous owner just put in an ordinary 6mm bolt with no lock nut.. Thanks Guys for all the help and info as a guy once said I WILL BE BACK. I will keep forum posted on progress

Deglazed barrels using borrowed Rotary deglazing tool. Lapped in valves found a broken outer spring on No.1 Exhaust also when I pulled off the Barrels top ring on No 4 Broken( May be my Fault) Bike had been running very rich as all pistons were black carbon I still need to know for sure if pistons are standard as there are no marking on crown. I still dont know if I should split engine to change Cam Chain horse shoe I can rock it with 2 screwdrivers 1 on adjuster and 1 pushing down on horseshoe at rear of engine it moves but not very freely as some resistance felt.

Hi me again I had low compression on test around 75psi as suggested I put oil in cyl and compression improved conciderably. I have removed head and barrels The pistons have no marking on top so are they standard (They are Honda pistons) The Dia of pistons is 51'04 mm. I removed adjuster nut on front of engine and using a screw driver I checked the Horse Shoe for movement and it was very stiff to move I used a screw driver on the front and another at the back and rocked the horseshoe and it was stiff but moving . Should I rebore or would I get away with deglazing and new rings. I dont do much milelage, Thanks for help and suggestions so far.
