Slide Spec Ae71

Thanks for all the comments guys! Beau, should be rad to see you out there some time man!
The rad support had to have the early front welded in, when i had flat lights i just did a dodgy and drilled holes and used some alloy plate behind it... but for the quads i wanted it done right.

Probably not going to be hitting up tracks for a short time, just trying to save money for the ze... plus one of my mates is getting his 86 all back together for like a month and then pissing off to the uk for like 2 years lol, so wanna get my clutch done and make sure everything is in perfect working order for epic battles.

Josh ill give you a yell later this week, that would be a great help man!

lol ive hit a pretty big wall.....

When we did the head gasket on the gze we saw that #4 was slightly lower than #1... not good.
I didnt wanna deal with it but luckily my mate pointed out that its nothing good and i need to suss it out.

Pulled the sump off last night to reveal that piston #4 just doesnt have a bearing, and has been run like that... so i got a motor with a scarred crank, have to pull the thing appart now and get the crank machined and the bearings redone.

Started pulling bits off last night with the help of josh, hopefully this problem wont set me back a great deal... but its not exactly helping

Yea im glad im not having to do a full rebuild and its just a case of machineing stuff, still a pain though.... at least im getting plenty of practise of pulling a gze apart lol

Spent the arvo stripping it back down, just gotta find a gear puller so we can get the timing belt gear off
