900SS Engine Rebuild



Why?

Besides why not, I was going to try to stroke the crankshaft out 2mm to 70mm. I talked to many people and finally decided not to try this - as they say that any stroke longer than 68mm will hit the timing shaft. BUT I'm quite glad that I did commit to the full rebuild, as there are a few problems that were uncovered that would eventually require me to do this anyway.

OK This page is huge. Now that the rebuild is compete, I've reordered the info chronologically. Sorry, the pictures don't really happen until towards the end, near March of 1999.

Initial findings (10/98)

1998:
I've gotten the frame powder coated white and the wheels polished. I'm now waiting for parts... as always.
