Re: Step by step DIY Webber convertion + question
What kind of motorcycle do you have? Kind of curious now with that tire the engine is laying on.
Drive a few myself.

I didn't know they sold jb weld in gallon size containers. That shouldn't leak tranny fluid...

bought the largest I could find , 10 oz I think.
Looks like your doing it Right! and on the street, has to be fun to work on!
The only thing that puzzles me is the JB Weld on the gearbox? doesn't using the JB Weld like you did on the center of it, render it unrebuildable? since you wouldn't be able to open it?
2004-2011?
yes , it wont be easy opening it...
Re: Step by step DIY Webber convertion + question
todays progress..
good clean to many parts
water pump pulley
cleaned the surface again
head gasket , dowels , oil jet
rebuilded head
installed the head
oil filter base
oil separator
to be continued...
What size pistons did you end up getting & did you plastigage your new bearings on the rods & crankshaft after you installed it all to make sure it's in tolerance?

bought everything oversized.
the main and cranck bearings are +10.
the pistons are 0.020" oversize.
everything was machined and checked at the shop.
what's stoping my progress right now is the fact that I don't have new engine/transmission mounts.

resizing the oil jet is recommended while you "had" it apart.
Very nice work btw!

Re: Step by step DIY Webber convertion + question
Please explain the resizing thing ..
thanks , btw..
the jet in the head should be drilled out to be a bit larger. Lostforawhile knows more than i do about it. I can't remember the size bit i used now
"Weight is relative to power like time is relative to speed"
is it a must? I didn't change the engine (beside of the small boring thing)..I'm asking because its closed..
Re: Step by step DIY Webber convertion + question
inlet and outlet manifolds installed , oil sump , engine mounts brackets and other hardware , oil filter ,thermostat housing ... basicaly the engine is closed , tomorrow I'll try and put it in the engine bay ...
