    Honda CRF450X - back to former glory (Hopefully)

    Bappas, you were right (that is some fine eyes you have) the existing piston is a .50, so I will be looking for the .75 piston then.

    Information: On how the fueling system works on the XT660

    Oh yeah, much respect for him, helpful and really clued-up. The issue is manufactures are like a sealed book when it comes to their designs, they figured everything out and even proved DynoJet that their CO2 resistance plug does not work, they pulled the product back then and came up with...

    1985 Honda XL185S Restoration

    Yeah, I decided to not split the bottom half, overall the conrod has almost no up and down play. The main bearing looks and feel solid, so I am going to just do the topend, piston, cylinder and rings, timing chain, except if there is a good reason to dig deeper. Don't fix whats not broken may...

    1985 Honda XL185S Restoration

    Yeah sorry I am talking about the needle bearing on which conrod (big side) runs on from the flywheel, or is there no bearing there? I had a guy around that rebuilds classics, he recons there is no play on that conrod. If I am not in need to split the case I am going to start reassembly. Sorry I...

    @Bappas The conrod up and down (also checked on youtube how to) has no play, the main bearings also seems very solid and the engine so far looked really good. I will be replacing as with your suggestion the the piston and do the head. With this: Clutch plates (they are 3mm service limit is...

    1985 Honda XL185S Restoration

    Hi Bappas what do you look for in a damaged piston to know that it is damaged. I am trying to figure out how to evaluate the situation. Does 0.50 mean its been bored already, I do not think this engine was ever opened. Also if I replace the piston do I replace the conrod too? If I take it to...
