Small update. The ported and flowed block has been delayed so I've decided to get the one I have back up and running, which requires the plugging of quite a few holes  I reckon it's doable though - JB weld FTW I split the cases and removed the crank. The most time consuming thing was removing the flywheel, it was sort of welded on with bits of shredded woodruff key spread evenly between the two. Didn't get any pics as my hands were filthy. I'll get some when I go back out in a mo. |

Wonder if that sheared key was the reason for the strange running lately... :stumped:

 Port mismatch, anyone?   That's better   Repairs  Making sure the mating surface is true with wet and dry and the flat top of a saw. |

Next on the agenda is to collect a crank and cylinder, should be a job for later today. It will be back on the road for Monday :scared:
Started painting the CVT cover whilst I waited for the exoxy to cure, I will post pics when it's done.

Nice work. That thing sure has some stout oil passages. Sure does! Wonder if enlarging ours would be a bad idea?.. I have thought about it for some time now. |

It would take us 3hrs just to get through airport security to get on the plane to head to somewhere that has that much stuff around. lol I couldn't afford the plane, let alone the parts once I arrived.
