Re: Diamond in the Rough: My 75 Goldwing
I'm getting ready to stuff this engine in. i suppose it's better to have the frame as a roller first? Or should I put the frame over the engine while it's stripped?

Re: Diamond in the Rough: My 75 Goldwing
Putting the frame over the engine is much easier.

Re: Diamond in the Rough: My 75 Goldwing
I could scratch that one up easily. Suggestions here are to wrap frame pieces with rags or pipe insulation to protect it.
Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.

Re: Diamond in the Rough: My 75 Goldwing
Got a buddy to come over and help me throw the engine in frame.
Put some oil in her and threw the frame over. Shortly noticed an engine oil leak... NOT good.
Pulled the frame back off and tracked it down. Appeared to be coming from the rear cover.
Pulled the rear cover off and saw that I had left a washer on one of the studs which obviously wouldn't let the edges seal.
Removed the washer and ordered a new gasket, man I hate setbacks!

My thoughts exactly.ericheath wrote:Better now than later
I had put that washer back on the stud so I would not forget where it goes during re-assembly.
I was mad at myself when I realized what I had done but also relieved that it wasn't something more serious such as a damaged mounting surface.

Re: Diamond in the Rough: My 75 Goldwing
Ok so I drilled 3 rotors. I used two 3/16" bits and two 9/32" bits and chamfered the holes with a 7/16" bit. So 5!Sugs wrote:Looks good, how many bits did you go through?
