Carnage :: Yamasaki motor go bye bye

[Marshj]

that was brad's guess also.

so, maybe the crank bearing seized, thrust washer fell apart and bits of it went up into the combustion chamber and got bounced around in there and out the exhaust?

Exactly that happened to my Bro's fx1 saki. On a low hour crank too. Took out the piston/part of the head and then actually got stuck in the piston top:banghead:

I guarantee Chuckie's cyl will have quite a bit more bottom end.

 

[RoyalFlush@PCB]

i hope its ANYTHING like his other motors i've tried! i might have to drop down a size or two on my jetting.

:cool2: :sneaky: :cool2:

Chucky knows his stuff...

current progress:

- all the fashionable yamaslut yellow removed from cylinder
- crank and pistons installed
- motor painted
- snapped starter bolt in cases drilled out (much straighter hole than stricky's!)

remaining:

- order new domes from greater (completely forgot!)
- flywheel, igntion, coupler, intake, exh mani, head reinstall.


defoaming/refoaming superjet has moved down in my list of most hated superjet jobs of all time. drilling out the snapped bolt from my starter had to me the most aggravating experience to date! holy crap!

ok...I have heard of some pretty crazy sht, but trying to fit a sj motor into a bug...wtf:biggrin:

 

[Moondance]

ok, now THAT was funny! :haha:

hmm.. you think it'll fit? i mean, it's only got almost FOUR TIMES the HP of my vw engine!! :bigeyes: :bigeyes: :bigeyes:

dam, i never thought of it that way. talk about perspective!

could be onto something.....I can hear the rumors now:dunno:

 

[RoyalFlush@PCB]

I've been wanting to install an SJ engine in my golf cart...:Banane01:

could be onto something.....I can hear the rumors now:dunno:

Yeah, but where are you gonna put the radiator???

-O

 

[Moondance]

so it's starting to look more like a motor..

i have to pull the starter and exhaust manifold back off tho to drillout/timecert a stripped thread on the cylinder

wtf....now you're trying to mount it on a bike?:sneaky:

 

[Mike Serlin]

What's that sticking out of the top of your piston? It looks like the needle bearings in the top end bearing. Is it possible that bearing went out. It just happened to me. Feel the inside of the rod (where the bearing rolls) to see if there is any pitting from corrosion.

 

[Ollie Rastabean]

porn for Saki.

 

[Ollie Rastabean]

SHOW OFF!

take some pics of that sweet equipment timmy's always talking my ear off about in your garage! :bigeyes: :sneaky:

Uh, that aint my helicoil kit. Merely a kit from the web.

Cannot move in the garage right now. Filled with bus interior.

-O

 

[Ollie Rastabean]

I am guessing that Tim is talking about my Smithy. Not as impressive as Tricky1's setup but gets me by when I dont have access to the work machines.

 

[Ollie Rastabean]

Dam O! that thing is SWEET. i need one too! what is it? HAHAHA

Its a mill/drill + lathe (you might have been kidding)

It might be for sale in the next 6 months. I need to upgrade to the next machine in the line. I do not like the way this one threads.

[Ollie Rastabean]

for sale you say? how's your lay away plan?

Not good enough. :bigeyes:

Free delivery though!

 

[douglee25]

what kind of coin do those machines cost anyways? pm me.. just out of curiousity.. i honestly have no clue!

Harbor freight sells those things for a decent price. You're better off finding a used Bridgeport for around $1500.

1.Uh, That aint a Harbor Freight Machine.

2. Harbor freight machines are pretty crap and are actually a copy of these smithys. If set up correctly a smithy can be just as accurate as a bridgeport.

3. Those harbor freight machines dont even cut true english dimensions. They have metric leadscrews with english dials.

4. I dont have the floorspace for a vertical mill + a lathe.

5. You cannot easily turn metal on a bridgeport.

6. I am pretty sure a $1500 bridgeport will give you some trouble and probably would not cut straight anymore.

I stand corrected. Harbor freight used to sell them. When I just checked their catalog, they are no more. I'm not putting down your Smitty machine at all, I was merely suggesting to Saki if he had the choice and the room, buy a Bridgeport. That's all.:biggrin:
