SOHC3
« on: April 24, 2005, 03:02:23 AM »
it was a dark day today. after many years of faithful service, the old girl has let me down.
number three cylinder has lost compression and turned the 750 into a triple.
so now that i have recovered from my mechanically induced drinking binge, can you sohc4 wizards in oz bring me up to speed on the current suppliers of the bits i shall be needing shortly (gaskets, rings/pistons to suit wiseco 836, etc) and any preference for one brand over another.
the last build was in 1998, and i haven't had to play with the guts of her since.
motor comes out tomorrow :'(
thanks in advance,
nick in canberra
