Disassembly

I've got it torn apart finally and some great news, as well as major plan changes. I got the carbs off, and they seem to be all in good working order. The head is off as well, and this is where the good news comes in. The cylinders and pistons are perfect! Not a scar, scratch, knick, ding, mark, or deformation ANYWHERE! This means I'm going to save myself some trouble and not even remove the block. I also found the cause of the nasty noise coming from the engine... LOOSE CAM CHAIN! The previous owner improperly instally the cam chain tensioner and it was way loose and smacking the chain guides... fixed! Although, I did note the bronzing in the head and outer cylinder walls into the bottom end, telling me that the bike definitely got hot during its oil-less jaunt.

Carbs gone:


A nice look at some inside... and that bronzing I was talking about:


Dirty pipes in need of elbow greese:



Off with its head!


Now... can I put it back together?!? Heh, wait and see... More updates to come soon!
