    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

MAC you were right on the money on the oil pick up. As it turns out the 700 engine had so much junk in the screen i would guess it caused the #2 rod to seize up. It was a nice pretty blue on the rod cap.

Thanks to the fine folks here, I learned to split the cases without dis- mantling the trans at all!

How did you split the cases without disturbing the trans though? I've got mine in bags now...

Pull the obvious stuff, bearing retainers,clutch basket, oil pump. Leave the shift shaft, and all the trans stuff behind the clutch. Remove all the bolts.. trans comes out in the bottom half, crank comes out in the top half. Then you can seperate if you want too.
 
Hi Mac, no but getting really close. I checked everything, had the crank polished, got gaskets, rings, ect... I have spent alot of early hours in the garage to get things going.

This morning, I just finished installing the cams,and double checking the timing chain. i think I'm going to a manual tensioner just to be sure nothing happens.
 
Well, It's alive!! Houston we have lift off.... sort of. Got it running and not I'm fixing a few odds and ends. Oil leak at points cover and a exhaust leak at header.

I cant wait to ride this thing, and see how the tranny and clutch are.!
 
Yea... the seal was not put back in behind the pick up plate. I thought the gasket kit came with this seal...so I threw the old one away, and forgot all about it during assembly.
