Well as some already know my 85 200x is waiting for the head to get finished (been waiting for a couple months it seems)
i guess i should start at the beginning:
new 80 over bore job (over 200psi comp.)but it smoked like a pig,
so i took the head off and bought another set or rings (thought i might have messed them up in the install.sent the head to a guy that used to own a shop,for:
small repair of the cam bearing journal, couple days later i told him to change valves, guides/seals, and springs( to stainless steel valves in case i wanna run alky).
he said "ok no prob."
couple weeks go by call him up ,he says"oh yea been waiting for you for a week now,(cool i just got the rings and new dg exhaust also new high performance clutch/springs installed)this was over a month ago! I went to get the head...
got there and he said TEN BUCKS is what i owed him...i thought hmmm sounds strange,as he went to get it... brought it back he says"see heres what i did welded the pin hole for the "bearing" on the cam then drilled it out the right size".i said "cool what about the valves and stuff?" OH trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro!!!(excuse that pls)he says..."i thought i forgot something".
so i got everything straight on what i wanted him to do(he thought i was just thinking about doing the valves).so i gave him enough cash to cover what he did already and the parts he needed. he said a couple weeks it would be done...I reached him about 2 weeks later he said he was waiting on parts.ok no prob.
i have been trying to call and reach him at home for 2 weeks finally today he was there he says we got a prob. (OH NO!!!now what i thought).he says "the vavles were beat so bad you could shave with them" then he showed them to me (i know why it smoked now, and you could cut yourself with the edge of the valve). he says "the seats are real bad i can try and fix them but i don't know." i said the seats are removable he looked at them and (had to scrape an 1/8 inch of carbon off)says yea there it is.
i should have it by the end of next week!!!
just in time for trike fest!!!
