Today my bike is alive also!
For this project me and Piper has followed 'Dinquas Big Bore instuctions' closely. A big thank to Pat for his great work with the these instuctions. In the same spirit we would like to contribute our experiance during this project.
At two points during the re-Installation we slightly changed the procedure. First place was when we got to the 'Re-Installation of Pistons'. This alternative method was suggested by Piper and applied with success on both our bikes. Prepare the pistons according to Pats instruction. But instead of fitting them to the rods turn the cylinders upside down and mounted both pistons into the sleeves. Be careful to get the arrow in the right direction. Then turn the cylinders around and carefully slide it down on the engine bolts. Align the first rod with the piston hole and insert the gudgeon pin and secure it with the circlip, and then the same procedure for the second piston. And let the cylinders continue down in correct position
The second place where we turned into an alternative way was regarding the Re-Installation of Cam Chain, Sprocket and Tensioner. This is how we did it. Easy method if you are two persons. Follow Pats instruction exactly up until you have the the Cam Chain nice and tight in the correct postion on the Sprocket. Now instead of installing the Drive Gear Shaft through the Sprocket let Person 1 hold the Sprocket with the Cam Chain in a tight and correct position while Person 2 inserts and secure the forward (Exhaust) Cam Tensioner Blade followed by the rear (Inlet) Cam Tensioner Blade. After both Cam Tensioner Blades are in place insert the Drive Gear Shaft with the washers and Retaing bolts according to Pats procedure. And check that all the timing marks still are in the correct position.
So, now we are just waiting for somewhat warmer weather for the burn-in procedure. Also a thank to Jojje for all his work with re-sleeving our cylinders.
