If you at least check out ebay once a day like me, you might find a brand new stock bore ring and piston wiseco kit like i did for a whopping $80. Theres always someone who wants to get rid of the parts they've had on the shelf forever!

So if I don't have the special tools I should pay a shop to do the bottom end? Wonder how much labor they will hit me for :(
My tool collection is sparse. I'm 26 and have only been in my first house for a year. I am blessed though with an old man that has two storage buildings full of tools. I think he is a compulsive tool buyer (also an ironworker / welder). He won't have things like a flywheel puller or case splitter though. He could probably make them for me but there is always the hazard of not getting it quite right and messing something up.

I'm in a hurry to get old girl fixed, soon as that house credit comes in :D my friend with a lot of land recently let an oil company run a pipeline. They made some sweet trails and cleared a swath thats sort of like a dirt highway wide enough to fit probably 6 trucks or more side by side on. made some nice whoops and small jumps in places too, not sure why. They plan on running some gravel road too. I also bought a cheapy 19 dollar digital video camera to duct tape to my helmet as a poor mans helmet cam (that I don't have to worry about breaking!)


As for where I am, I'm in Shreveport LA, northwest corner of Louisiana.

You could just get the engine tore down as much as you can and take it to a shop to have the cases split and flywheel removed. If they aren't busy they could do it while you wait. Shouldn't cost very much to do it that way. I know the flywheel puller is pretty cheap. Never bought a case splitter though. I'm sure you can find them on ebay. I'll look tonight and if I find anything I'll post them up.
