KX500B1 Rebuild Project
motojason:
Cleaned and prepped cases before lapping.
Lapping with Time Saver compound per Sandblaster's post on lapping technique.
Replated cylinder lapping with head
All new clips and washers for transmission
Ready for overhaul. Need to do shift cam and shift link roller mod before assembly.
sandblaster:
Motorrad introduced me to Time Saver and replacing all the Cir Clips..
Both very good suggestions.
Mike Grant:
Any pictures of the intake/exhaust port setup on your bike?. Curious to how they look compared to the newer power valved engines. Build looks awesome so far

Yup, that is correct as I recall. It was an ebay purchase, but I picked it up myself. Why?

Bought my 93 k5 from the same guy in December. Had a freaking hovercraft in his driveway and tons more goodies in his garage.
