Here’s a picture with no flash in my kitchen that has overhead lights

Well first let me see if I can get a better picture without the flash and see what you think

(No zinc either)

Is this an acceptable amount of metal/color after a 20 minute break in period Using Brand New 10W-30 oil? (Pic was taken with flash if it matters)

All right… if you say so. I’m not taking the option completely off the table but even if I was to do it it would be quite a ways off

I disagree. All I have to do is cut the “undercarriage?“ Off along with the bottom, and then pretty easily mount it so that all the “sharp little spears“ would be on the underside of the kart. I’ve actually thought how I would do this through before I actually consider doing it

went on a walk the other day. Found about 13 abandoned shopping carts in this little canyon. I’m tempted to snag one, chop it up and throw it on the kart. What are y’all’s thoughts, should I do it? (I already know my answer 👀) *Engine build posts coming soon!*

Alrighty then. When I looked at a listing online it had options for various “grits“ but I’ll get whatever they have at the actual store if that’s what you say

What grit valve grinding compound would y’all recommend?

Thanks for the words of advice. Believe it or not I’ve been doing quite a bit of research and learning for the past year or so and it’s really paid off especially in the past few days. As I’ve begun to tear down and rebuild this engine (I’ve been documenting the process and will soon post it on...

Can anyone recommend where to get plastigauge?

Found a great video by the Grey goat garage that basically tells me everything I need to know

I assume you mean it fits in between the top and bottom nut? And what size feeler gauge?

Does anyone know what spec these nuts should be torqued to? (Right, the top smaller metal nut. Left, the “nut“? That holds the rocker down)

Thanks for the tips

I don’t currently have the means to check the ring gap on my new piston. Would it be possible to reuse the stock rings that have already been properly clearanced?

Ha!

Tried that, didn’t work. Thanks all the same

Hey y’all. I’ve been trying to remove the stock flywheel from the engine for the past day or so. I’ve tried every method I found and it just won’t budge. Any thoughts?

Well said
