Alrighty then - normal oil it is! :wai: :thumbsup: :auto:

I haven't actually removed the bearings/bearing seals, and I wasn't going to, so do I still need to re-grease them? I did wash out the case with petrol, but I don't know if that'll have washed away the grease (if there was any in there anyway). So it's BEST to use assembly lube, but since I...

Cool! Thanks for all the help! :)

Alright - so no worries then! I'll just make sure to give all the moving/rubbing components a good dash of oil when I put it back together. Thanks!! Only one thing: what do you mean by 'tappers'? Is that the actual cams on the camshaft that push against the followers?

Thanks for replying! So I don't need any grease anywhere in the engine itself? I heard something about "assembly grease". Is that anything I need to bother about? Or literally *just* a good coat of engine oil on everything?

Hi all, I bought an old Honda GX110 4-stroke engine, and I'm in the middle of stripping it down, and cleaning it up etc. I drained the oil and removed the crank cover, and cleaned out the inside with petrol. I am going to put it all back together soon, but I realise that I don't have any kind of...

As the title suggests, I'm having quite a lot of difficulty removing the flywheel from my old Honda GX110. I've tried tapping the crankshaft with a hammer, tapping the flywheel, lots of WD-40, and even heating with a blowtorch a bit. I don't own a flywheel puller, and when I took it to a local...

Ok thanks, I'll probably use a good steel seat pan then, and sit above the engine. I may even put in another layer in-between. Got to protect that "valuable stuff" after all :thumbsup:

So probably not a good idea to sit on it then?

Hi all, I'm planning on building a drift trike this summer and I have already bought an old BMX to cut up for the front wheel and steering. I'm going to make a megal chassis which will attach to the BMX frame at the bottom bracket (where the pedals go normally). I have bought an old Honda...

Thanks pRoFiT! That's a great idea :iagree: - I hadn't even thought of that. I'll make sure to make a build log and include some :kewlsmiley: Thanks again, Craggy

Hi all, My name's Craig and I'm 16, and pretty new to this world of go karts and engines etc. I don't race karts or have much experience in this area - but I'd love to get involved and make -and hopefully drive - something cool!:auto: I do have some friends who are into racing karts and mucking...
