Re: Project Stupid Move - A rebuild for the Boy
Chip, the truck is now called "Punching-Bag". You are a slick talker man! I saw on some other thread "The sun shines on a dog's ass once in a while.." or some $hit like that. My gawd! I laughed my ass off!
So he sold his soul (pristine CR125R - almost OCD) and ended up spending a chunk of that on some aluminum heads. Some outfit on EBay called J&E or J&C Enterprises? They claim to take the best "budget" aluminum castings and do Ma and Pa machine work with "good" valves and hardware. 64cc chambers, 2.02/1.60 (I think they even offer bigger valves but I think that'd be real risky!!) and a variety of runner cc's. He got something like 190cc runners? Glad he didn't take the bait and go biggie.
Anyways, we really looked them over when they came out of the box and I gotta say they looked good. Nice looking valves, adjustable guide plates, and overall nice finish on the machine work and de-burr. We didn't take any valves apart to feel out the guides but that's his deal.
He already had the thing torn down and cleaned up. Big Brown rolled up around 5:30 with the heads. After a brief inspection we went to town. Fired up about 1:30 this morning, no leaks, quick test drive, tick-tick-tick-tick... I'm not liking the adjustable guide plate / self-aligning rocker dealio he's got going there, at least the way it is now.
It sounds great, hauls ass and I'll get a burnout vid. Tires are problem in this boy's life but there's cool marks on the road in front of my house.
