So I got up early and pulled the rear head off. Here is what I found. Pistons were wet but the cylinder walls look fine. Does not look like any...
Thanks for taking those pictures. Not sure that is going to work out of the box. The VF500 part is a right angle with close to the same...
Me doing my favorite thing in the whole world....pulling VF500F engines! The leakdown test was going great until I tested the LAST cylinder. It...
Man I hope that is it. I just did a leak down on #2 and no problems at all. No air bubbles coming out of the radiator neck either, I let it sit...
Yes, that is exactly what is happening. It has not done this before but I have not ever let it sit and idle this lone either(15 minutes or so)....

I have tons of automotive bumpers and looked into modifying but this one has a molded curve in it that makes it tough. I have some old GSX650F...

I have my mountain bike for that LOL!!!!
WOW, I am totally in the market for head gaskets. I am almost 100% sure the head gaskets are the same 84-86. The last ones I got from Japan are...
Thanks, It's all good, I am going to strip it down completely and paint the frame. It's the journey not the destination, right?????
Well it turns out I will have to wait a little bit before adjusting the valves, it seems I just blew the head gaskets on both banks. I actually...
Yeah, I bought that tool also and it DID NOT work very well. Total hit or miss to hit that #2 screw. I finally got it but like you said it took...
VALVE ADJUSTMENT....I have about 70 miles on the rebuild and I am taking the radiator in to have it boiled out. While waiting for it tp return, I...
Very nice! Looking forward to updates.
Was that the bike with the oval pistons? Crazy
I must make that pilgrimage before I die!
