latest development is I pulled the valve cover and have a collapsed lifter. Rocker arm was so loose it was turned sideways and not touching the valve. But that doesn't explain my compression loss through the exhaust. So I'm thinking while I have the intake off inspecting the lifter Journal I'm...

alright here's where I'm at so far I did the reverse pressure test with my shop air...150psi...number umber 6 at TDC on compression stroke. There was a little air out of the oil fill on the valve cover but the majority came out of my exhaust.

Thanks guys!

The only other thing i can think to add is in addition to the tapping when starting cold i have heard what i can only describe as a metallic sound similar to an ac compressor clutch going out. It wasn't the ac though it was in that passenger bank valve cover. I'm going to pull the valve cover...

My 99 tahoe has had what I thought to be some rocker arm noise. I pulled the passenger bank valve cover a month ago and turned the second one back about a quarter turn. That seemed to fix it. It was ran about 3 to 3.5 qts low when I found the remote oil filter lines leaking. Replaced and all has...

congratulations brother!!

Forgot about this one...added the swing arm decals I just cleaned the forks up CJ. Thanks!

Getting there. Starting to look a little more like a bike again. Front shock seals and oil came yesterday. Only thing im really waiting on now it the steering bearings and rear shock seal. Once I get those I can get the front end back on and get the rear shock rebuilt and filled with...

Thanks brother! I appreciate it. I will order some online if need be but I thought it would be cool to get some from someone I actually "know" and make something with it. And maybe put something in the mail back to you as a thank you down the road. :beer:

I need some to fool around with some primitive knife making. I know some of yall may have lots of rock in your area, not down here just red clay dirt. LOL

Thanks guys, I hope to tinker a little with it today.

Remove oil tank and premix and add battery. Two birds, one stone. An additional battery plus a non burned up power head.

I got several projects going on at the same time but I made some progress this weekend. Lots of cleaning, and painting, sanding, etc... I got the leaky oil seal replaced on motor and then cleaned and painted It was NASTY. Main bearings in good shape though from what I could see when I...

Me too. My wife will do nearly anything for me. We got a great marriage after 18 years and only getting better. keeping the wife happy and feeling appreciated has infinite benefits. I get way more out of it than I put in. Shes a good woman.

Roger that its all already on the list. :sun:

Well Ive riden it enough to know i want to keep it and get it lookiing like new again for the spring and summer riding. I started tearing it apart yesterday and getting things cleaned up for paint. Going to go through the shocks, got a gasket to replace, some cracked rubber on the carb intake...

Merry Christmas to all you guys! Jesus is the reason!
