hahah i like your style jack ;)

if you reset your cam timing make sure you check through the spark hole to make sure the piston is at TDC ......... on my yx160 i just did the other day they both line up at 9oclock. yours might be different though so double check. edit: just noticed its a lifan, derp nevermind. set your cam...

ow sweet, i kinda wondered after ide made this post how it had run pretty well previouslly. ill keep an eye on it for any leaks though. this metal putty stuff sounds awsome, never seen it before. thanks i didnt even think about which part of the rotation it was on. its all slowly starting to...

gday folks i just flipped my engine over and found a huge hole, thought you all might like to see some Atomik build quality. unless i did this ... hardly ridden the bike before the oil drian plug broke though. dont buy atomik people, bad newss. :eek: what would you guys do about this ? was...

i was trying to set up the cam timing, was a bit confused with the scratch mark and two marks to align too. i couldnt figure out how to find tdc, didnt even think about spark plug hole. got it all sorted out now though thanks sean. it's going off the left mark on the YX for anyone who wants to...

are you trying to install a new 1/2 or 1/4 turn throttle ?? thats what it seems like to me. the throttle/bar end of the cable is always the same, has the little nub on there to slot into the lever .... you can make small adjustments here but nothing major. For the carby end you need to figure...

gday i was hoping for your opinions, is the scratch at 7oclock the Tmark to align too? it's not a proper notch is why i ask ... maybe some guy in china factory scratchs it in while he builds it?? theres also two notches which one would you say i align too? the notch on the cam sprocket is...

sweet thanks dvdrip, just wanted to make sure before i use another gasket ... that aviation gasket seal doesnt leave them very reusable. it's all set to install back in the bike and see how bad a job i did :) i took no note at all of how the oil cooler lines hook back up, any idea which is...

Gday fellas. It's been so long since i started fixing my engine i cant remember if the clutch basket & clutch plates are meant to have a fair bit of play in all directions once the clutch basket nut is on and tight? It doesnt seem correct, the outer gear part of the basket is moving around...

only just had a chance to try and finish off the engine tonight ... got the kick start working a treat thanks for your help guys. and i screwed up by making photobucket albums woops, will fix that tommorow. have a couple of quick questions .. should there be any play in the outer comp, the...

Some more pics with the centre case on.

Thanks guys, havent had time to get the head/cylinder off yet .... just the side cover, clutch etc ... at this point you can carefully pull the starter unit out of the gear mesh (if this makes sense) this changes how the starter mech works, i can get some spring back like it needs ... but as...

owchh my head hahaha, ive read ure post about 15 times now jack and i think im starting to get it hehe. going to strip it back down and get stuck into it tommorow at least it changes gears and everything else seems to work/go back together fine ... woww that's one hell of an effort, i thought...

problem is i never really got it in the first place, it could be set correct atm and i wouldnt know. it doesnt seem right at all though. when i put the kick lever on and turn it to the right it starts to build up on the springs then hits a dead end. it should be springing the other way to get...

having abit of dramas with the kickstart .. i tried to figure out how it worked before putting it back together and thought all was good, just got the side case and most of the gears besides clutch back on and it seems like something might not be right. turn it to the left and it hits a dead...

they probablly got more bashing than they should have to get in there but im sure there fine. wish i knew the socket with bolts etc method, sounds like it'd work a treat. was figuring getting it welded rebossed etc would cost as much if not more than a new case ... would be strong at least i...

cheers sir cactus jack, got them in and out a treat with a butane torch ... carefully of course :)

true true, can put that 200 towards the 184cc upgrade kit or something fun. just been on a bunnings/auto one run to find something to help pull/press these bearings and didnt have much luck... auto one had some pilot bearing pullers but they didnt look like they'd quight work ... and there...
