Re: Bernieboy's 34l Resto
Well, got it registered this week (club reg of course) and took it for a shake down ride today. About 150k's east of Melb. Had a few problems with fuel starving, maybe intermittent blockage somewhere.? The oil burning however was pretty bad. You may recall when I did the motor I honed bore and replaced rings. After I had done about 100k the blue smoke subsided and thought it had bedded in a little, however when I stopped at some lights I heard a bit of a "pre seizure" squeal from below. Pulled over and checked the oil (none visible on the stick!!) some fumes emmiting from the oil tank.
Approx 1lt per 100km! So I put a litre of oil in and rode home (blue smoke had returned) Seems like I will need to a rebore aferall. I have a piston kit so it will be my next job.

Re: Bernieboy's 34l Resto
Was the bore ever measured to see if it wasn't worn too big before even honing? Sometimes it works to get +.01" (commonly called service rings) and just gap them for the bore and run in the worn std bore as long as there is no piston slap going on.

Re: Bernieboy's 34l Resto
Yes, put in oversize rings and filed them down to get the gap correct. Doesn't appear to have worked on this occasion.

Re: Bernieboy's 34l Resto
That's actually odd then that they didn't seal yet no slapping, usually it works at least for a good number of miles, those that didn't the bore was so big that the skirts would break from tipping. Are you sure a valve seal isn't leaking or, errr, ummmm, ,, .................................................... not istalled?
