When is a motor not worth working on?

<< < (3/7) > >>

Sesman:
Primary Drive rubbers, non pattern tensioner. Agree about the shells. I replaced mine just cos I got them at a really good price and felt is was ‘worthy’.

Bryanj:
Primary cush rubbers maybe 8x£8 you dont need tensioner if its working just blade. The 550's i done dont seem to hammer the cush rubbers as much,maybe cos the chain dont hammer the case as much, goo is a stock item, oil and filter are sevice items not part of rebuild tp me, i never blast and paint so didnt think of them and as it doesnt apear to be a full resto why do it, clean is good

Sesman:
  Aye, good points.   :)

Okay, made a list gathering the items listed. This is helpful.

Primary Chain
Cam chain
Cam chain tensioner blade
Cam chain tensioner cushion
Gasket Kit
Seal Kit
Primary Drive Cushion Rubbers
Non Pattern Tensioner
Bearing Guard

Don't know about the last to items though - bearing guard for where? And never heard about non pattern tensioner. Is that the cam chain tensioner, or?

Sesman:
Hi, Alex. Apologies, what I meant to say was “genuine tensioner blade” blade, which is about twice the price of a pattern part. You shouldn’t need a tensioner assembly unless it’s damaged or has a weak action.

Don’t underestimate the accumulative cost of hondabond, assembly lube, paint, paint prep such as sodablast and other decorative and service items.
