Project - Snail
The new toy is here and my aim is to keep this thread updated with whats going on and what gets fixed/changed/serviced. From, making the tea, to picking up a spanner, that'll be about it. Lol
 It's gonna need some work and I aim to have the engine running ASAP at least. So any of you that have any time free and fancy helping me rebuild a CBR600F engine because they know what they are doing then let me know, I will put on a BBQ for you and fill you with Coffee/cold drinks. Otherwise, happy Haynes'ing for me  I have a spare engine so can pick spares from that and check over too. Brakes will be re-done obviously, new filters, bearings greased, fork oil changed, may get rear shock re-done. Anyway, pics - a bit poo quality as taken on the BB.

Re: Project - Snail
wow, is it really foggy where you live mate? Or does the lens on your camera need a good wipe with a soft non abrasive cloth?

As far as I am aware, the engine in there crunched up second gear. I really don't know what happened, the guy who sold it to me bought it off another guy like this and didn't have the time for it, but to take it apart and give it me as it is. There is no history to the other engine either so until I can get in the one thats in there and get some advice what doesn't look right, I won't know. The weird thing is, he took the head casing off (probably wrong terminology) and downpipes, so all new gasket set will go on order as soon as I can afford it. EDIT: Will get some more pictures on a proper camera later on and upload them. Last edited by plowsie; 12-05-09 at 12:30 PM. |
