    Picked this bike up running and riding. Got it cheap. Had a bad piston slap. The guy is threw this together from a basket case, both axles were loose, rear was missing a spacer (wheel wobbled..), front pinch bolts missing... now to the fun stuff: Cylinder lining is trashed, can't find an oversized piston so it needs a new sleeve. The old piston measured 91.00mm, bore was 91.52 with deep gouges and flaking plating. I pressed out the old sleeve, blasted the cylinder, and dipped it in Alodyne. Waiting on a few parts for the engine, and the piston.. so I'll update this thread as I go along!

    Froze the new Cylinder sleeve, heated up the aluminum cylinder to 400F, sleeve literally dropped in. Have it under pressure on the press so it doesn't move when it cools! Waiting for the piston so I can put it on the hone and match them up.

    Polished up the valves and did a little porting on the head. IMG_0827.JPG 52831249692__7A577685-2A68-4E7E-B4DB-2CB26EB60DA7.JPG
