Still finishing the last of the cylinder clean up.
But for now I'm finishing the bottom end...
What we have is all the oil passages have been cleaned up, all mating surfaces have been lapped with Timesaver, bearings, seals, gaskets, shift forks, shift drum, and every snap ring, has been replaced.
The crank has been welded, trued, and balanced and rebuilt, using a IMS Pro rod.
Windowed Wossner piston, stock bore, fresh plate.
Transfers, bridges, and exhaust port, has been cleaned up.
Water ports have been cleaned up and the impeller clearance mod is done.
2 angle squish band with decompression on the head.
The rest is just glitter...
So, it should be just a nice, smooth, stock motor with some cleanup.
How will it run?
I should find out very soon.

Dirt in your rubber boot is never a good sign...
I was downright sick...
Good thing I caught it before I put it back together..
All better now thanks to a cage asy from a 99 kdx200 and some Permatex Ultra Black RTV Silicone :thumbup:

Cheap Chinese rads look great but the holes never seem to line up :oops:
