1984 VF500F with 86 engine complete rebuild

right ! alot of parts are NLA and have been for years. i could be misinformed, however.

 

The rings are coming from Japan. The piston from Germany. I'm finding a lot from eBay. So far they all have been correct in their description. we'll see if these are correct.

 

Only one piston? Std.?

 

I only needed one and that's the last new std piston I've seen on eBay or anywhere else.

 

Doing what I can till parts come in I cleaned and installed the oil pump and water pump. For S$$ and giggles I painted the underneath.

 

The piston rings and gaskets for clutch and stator came in. They are all the correct parts. Here is the eBay link. https://www.ebay.com/str/nipponmachines

 

The Top end is Done !

 

nice work but............



you're using a beautiful hand-made middle eastern wool rug on a garage floor ?????? please don't, as it shows bad manners at least and disregard for a cultural relic.

Rut roh......I'm in hot water too!

 

Wth-

 

Moroccan actually. My wife was born there. She said I could put it in my room. The house is hers but I figure the garage is my room so I put it there. No worries though. I figure I can clean it of all the oil, grease, metal shavings, tire marks, and bugs before I return it to her.

 

Might have to get it re-blessed after that cleaning.

 

lol......

 

Carbs are done with 6-Sigma kit installed. Picture taken on rubber mat so as not to upset Squirrelman.

 

Wooooooo... PURDY!

 

Yeah those carbs look incredible.....good work RCthirty!
