Well I said I was rebuilding the Green Machine’s engine and so it begins. After being lazy and bolting together the Gila power plant, the original seals made it a year and a half before giving into the high compression. This failure was totally my fault too. (note to self — riding dubs on an air-cooled moped on the hottest day of the summer is not a good idea)
The kit, piston and head look perfect and I had this Polini race case just laying around so what the hell lets get to building!!!
FAG bearings and monster transfers, this whole setup should be a bit more durable than the stock cases, more or less.
I’m going to smooth out the transition from the case to the cylinder transfers. I’m just trying to make the transition gradual as I’m not looking to add the giant transfers to an already smooth running kit. So mark it up.
Grind away the excess…
Next up bearings, seals and closing this thing up!
