Im sorry for your loss. My sister went through losing her first. Tell her to be strong. But its ok to let it just come out emotionally for coping.

Sorry to hear, Tews. Take care of your wife, that's what you need to be focused on right now.

Tews,

Even with the four kids on tap, a miscarriage is extremely rough emotional loss. I feel for you and your wife.

Thanks to everyone. It means a lot that this community has reached out.

My wife and I were expecting our 5th child. On Monday she had an ultrasound to determine the sex and to see how the baby was doing. Ended up not being good news and she was admitted into the hospital for more test. Wednesday we lost the baby but my wife is staying strong. Not sure if it is right to post on here what happened but thought everyone wishing us the best it would be appropriate to share.

As far as the build goes I will finish it but at the moment we have other things that need attending.

Once again thanks again to everyone for their support.

Sorry for your loss Tews, I hope you and your wife are doing well.

My wife and I experienced a similar loss this passed October. It gets a little easier with time and support from friends and family.

Best wishes.

Well I decided now it is time to step it up and move forward on this project. Well I got the added kick in the butt from MRieck. The other day I got the cylinders and head back from him. Great work! I also have been collecting parts here and there. Some chromed goodies as well. I will be asking a buddy today if he can help me take apart the cases to have them cleaned up to match the rest of the engine. I do not think it makes much sense to put together some really clean parts onto a dirty case. Pics to follow.

Side note nothing to do with bikes. Usually the winter months are for cleaning, restoring and building bikes for most members but our winters are heavily involved in wrestling. My youngest took 2nd in State over the past weekend. We leave for Nationals on Friday but he won't be wrestling as he broke his toe at practice yesterday.

Here is the head still wrapped as is the cylinders. Plus the chrome goodies.

+1. Broke his toe at practice?? Can't you come up with a better story?!!

Tews19 · « **Reply #315 on:** April 02, 2014, 04:26:47 PM »

Lol I wish I had a better reason. I guess the fracture is right in the middle of the toe to the end of the toe. Ortho surgeon tomorrow at 215.

Glad to hear you're back on the build again. I'm from the Twin Cities in MN, and can confirm; wrestling is huge in the midwest lol. Sorry to hear about the injury. But kids heal ridiculously fast. I'm sure he'll be back at it in no time!

Well I have officially taken my first engine completely apart.

What do you all recommend for the outside cases to be stripped and painted? Should I send it off or can I do it at home?

I also am struggling to remove the end part of the crankshaft. The part that is covered by the alternator cover.... Oh and that is pretty rusty....

You may need a puller...............or a friend that has one...........Good to see you back at it

Its best to CLEAN, SOAK, CLEAN, SOAK, and CLEAN again. Soda blasting after a good degreasing is quick. Bead-blast for a nice finish..........or paint any color you want. Whatever you do...........DO NOT USE SAND OR GLASS-BEAD. Be sure to clean every corner or pocket, including the crank, before reassembly.

Tews19 · « **Reply #320 on:** April 18, 2014, 05:15:19 PM »

Thanks Dennis! I think I will get oven\engine degreaser then pressure wash... Soak in hot soapy water....... repeat step 1. I read that using the dishwasher works well too....

I ordered all new seals for the lower end thanks to Dimitri providing a link...

Stev-o · « **Reply #321 on:** April 18, 2014, 05:41:24 PM »

What shape is the engine paint in? If it's peeling in places, yes blast as Dennis suggested. If not, clean clean clean and paint.

Tews19 · « **Reply #322 on:** April 18, 2014, 05:57:23 PM »

I think the PO spray bombed it when it was assembled still at one time. I'm going to do a hot bath in the tub I think when the wife is away tomorrow after soaking it in degreaser.

edwardmorris · « **Reply #323 on:** April 18, 2014, 06:58:55 PM »

Nick, grab one of the heavy duty pullers from Gordon/ilbikes, those things are amazing. Chewbacca recently pulled his rotor that was stuck bad too, and he used the same puller. Don't waste money on the ebay pullers. I have one that I can loan you, just let me know and it will be on its way. You'll need to the engine either in a big stand, or the crank in a huge vice to get it off. You could also try to get some rust off with a wire wheel on a drill motor.

Tews19 · « **Reply #324 on:** April 18, 2014, 07:17:54 PM »

Shoot if you don't mind I would love to borrow. You need my address?
